ROSELLE, IL — Shepard Medical Products announced today their new blog website, CareMates™ Infection Protection, an online public health news service, underwritten by Shepard Medical and their CareMates brand. The blog can be accessed at http://www.care-mates.com/Blog/. The CareMates Infection Protection blog was created as a resource to health care professionals, health media, and the general public for the latest international news and original articles on communicable and infectious diseases.
Shepard Medical founder and president, Chris Wright, explains “We saw a critical need to get information out to the community of medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and others about infectious diseases on a day-to-day basis. There are a number of developing illnesses that these healthcare professionals see on the front lines, often before they are public knowledge. Our site was developed to keep people informed about the latest infectious disease news.”
“We’ve assembled a top team of physicians, public health experts, and health journalists at Care-Mates’ Infection Protection,” said Gene J. Koprowski, MA., editor-in-chief. “Our site is the only daily, public health blog on the Internet dedicated to infection protection and infection control education. Our goal this year -- to be the go-to site for consumers in that market sector, the essence of infection control, and protection information.”
The publisher of Infection Protection is Chris Wright, a health industry executive and internationally known entrepreneur, who has a number of health care inventions and patents to his credit. Editorial director and editor is Gene Koprowski, a journalist who has covered health care for 20 years, and was a winner of the National Institutes of Health Medicine in the Media Fellowship at Dartmouth College in 2006. Correspondents on the blog site include Toronto correspondent, Sridhar Nadamuni, a well-known health journalist.
