Care City Weekly | First Edition In June
Dive in as we share with you some of the exciting things we have been reading through the week.
Welcome to June.
We are so excited to write to you this week.
The month has started on a very good and soft note.
We have started publishing fully at Care City.
You should check our most recent articles (if you have an idea, topic, or story you'd like to feature, you can reach out here: info@carecityonline.com; our editorial team will take it from there).
Building an information brand like Care City takes a lot of work—a lot of hard work!
Not to mention that we are a healthcare information brand, which means even more work because healthcare information is delicate, so we have to "tripple-check" before we hit publish; even at that, there are times when we still have to go back to a post or piece of content to make corrections or take it down entirely to be rewritten or revised.
There's also the aspect of design, social media, administration and finance—phew!
Nevertheless, friends, we are enjoying every bit of the work and learning a lot.
Our writers, designers, and team members are doing their best, and we always look for ways to improve.
In this edition of Care City Weekly, we bring you the latest in healthcare research, innovation, leadership, entrepreneurship and more.
We have made it brief so that it fits into your busy schedule.
Before we dive in, don't forget to subscribe and share if you haven't.
That's how you can help us grow—the more, the merrier.
You could go even further and engage with the post.
Like, comment, and share the publication.
It's free; we depend on our readers (like you) to help us grow.

Launching Our Website At Carecode Digital Health Hub
Let's go straight to the point.
So, we've been working on an independent website for Carecode Digital Health Hub for some time.
We know Carecode was overdue for one, but we have been going slow on it and haven't had enough team members.
We have been working on a small website for the past few weeks and are excited to announce that we have officially launched it!
It means a lot to us, and we would be glad if you could review it and let us know what you think.
It's a very simple website (our core brand belief is absolute simplicity).
Major updates and everything else concerning Carecode Digital Health Hub will be found on the website.

Healthcare Entrepreneurship
Making The Move From Medicine To Entrepreneurship
"There are a number of reasons that someone in the medical field might be drawn to entrepreneurship. One of the most obvious is that caregivers like nurses and doctors who are accustomed to using traditional interventions to help patients may be inspired to develop their own market solution for a medical problem or shortcoming they've discovered. This could be an idea for a new medical device or treatment, a mobile app cloud service or a groundbreaking approach to a standard procedure."

And that's a wrap!
