Familiar with the Journal of Communication in Healthcare?

For the last month or so I've been getting email solicitations from the Journal of Communication in Healthcare. Every heard of it? Here's what the email messages have to say about the publication:

Journal of Communication in Healthcare is the major new peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality articles, research and real case studies on how to improve communication with patients, the public and media. It does not publish advertising or sales pitches, but rather detailed guidance and invaluable 'lessons learned' from fellow professionals that you can apply in your organisation right now, including:

* in-depth and unbiased examination of innovative strategies, techniques and campaigns

* information perceived as 'insider' or not generally available, including insights from clinicians, healthcare providers, charities and businesses

* controversial viewpoints on current issues and trends that challenge conventional mindsets

* input from influential policy makers reflecting their opinions, current thinking and views on the future

* in-depth, actionable guidance on best practice from PR, marketing, brand management, sales and other professionals

Evidently the Journal is produced by Henry Stewart Publications and Mario Nacinovich, President-Elect of the Healthcare Communication & Marketing Association is serving as Editor-in-Chief. I believe an annual subscription is $335 US. If you're familiar with the publication I'd love to hear what you think of it.
