Health Journal Publisher Brian Freer knew starting his own publication wouldn’t be easy. He and founding partner Ravi V. Shamaiengar, M.D., shared a vision: Create a free consumer health magazine that offered compelling articles, health care resources and maximum exposure for advertisers.
That was nearly 6 years ago, and today The Health Journal reaches far beyond its Williamsburg roots to include Richmond and all of Hampton Roads through four monthly editions. With a circulation of 88,600 hard copies, The Health Journal is the region’s largest monthly and has established a loyal readership in print and online at thehealthjournals.com. In addition to producing a high-quality magazine, The Health Journal design team offers a variety of creative services including newsletters, brochures, direct-mail marketing pieces, photography and more.
While the growth has brought many exciting changes for The Health Journal, the company’s original vision remains the same. “Our mission is to empower readers with knowledge of essential health topics and resources needed to enjoy optimum physical and emotional wellness at any life stage,” says Freer. “Our focus is on giving our readers the best experience possible. And in turn, our readers appreciate the advertisers who allow us to distribute The Health Journal at no charge.”
