MMS NEWS: Marin Medicine Wins Top Award

In January, Marin Medicine won first place in the Touchstone publications competition sponsored by the Northern California chapters of the Society for Technical Communication (STC), the world’s largest organization of technical writers, editors and designers. The competition drew entries from across the region, including Oracle, Corel and other high-tech giants.

“The quality of the writing, editing, graphics, and production of the publication is extremely high,” wrote the competition judges. “[The magazine] promotes the medical community in Marin County very well. For the most part, the material is written by medical professionals for other medical professionals, with patients invited to listen in. All the material is relevant to patient interests and easy to comprehend.”

Next up is the STC’s international competition, which Marin Medicine was able to enter because of its first-place finish in the regional event. Winners of the international showdown will be announced in May.
