HOUSTON METHODIST HOSPITAL

Flagship Publication Redesign + Print Management

After a previous vendor left Houston Methodist in a bind, they knew they could count on their longtime partner Stamats to take on – and improve – their flagship print publication.

New Vision for Flagship Newsletter

After publishing the Leading Medicine magazine for over a decade with a previous vendor, Houston Methodist recognized a need for a comprehensive redesign and optimized production workflow.

The magazine, which spans multiple system hospital markets, needed a fresh new look along with:

Consistent editorial standards
Compelling localized narratives
More efficient workflows across multiple hospital teams
Fresh approach to infographics
Centralized production processes

Award-Winning Redesign

Stamats rose to the challenge, leading a full redesign of the publication in 2022 while guaranteeing timely delivery and exceptional editorial standards.

Across three editions per year, Stamats manages end-to-end magazine production for seven hospital sites, from content planning to printer and mailing coordination. Each issue includes:

Original articles
Photography
Infographics
Stunning visual desgn
Language translation support

In 2025, Houston Methodist earned a Gold Aster Award and a Digital Health Award merit recognition for their Leading Medicine community health newsletter.
