Red Bank, NJ - HealthyWomen, the nation's leading nonprofit health information source for women, is working with Media Ventures, Inc., a leading Norwalk, CT based custom publisher, to create two full-color, health-related magazines in 2011. One will focus on breast cancer and one on diabetes. Each will be supported by advertising and will be distributed in 10 major market newspapers with a home delivery circulation of one million. In addition, the magazines, and all their health content, will be available on HealthyWomen's award-winning website www.HealthyWomen.org.
HEALTHYWOMEN: A Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer will be published in October 2011 to coincide with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
