11 HEC F. 1 (1999)

handle is hein.journals/hecforum11 and id is 1 raw text is: HE C FORUM C 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers. 1999; 11(1):. Printed in the Netherlands. HEC FORUM: The 10 Anniversary EDITOR'S APPRECIATION With the publication of the last issue of volume 10 (1998), my loyal friend, colleague, and co-editor on whose advice I have come heavily to rely (since the beginning of our formal collaboration in late 1991), Judith Wilson Ross, has elected to retire from her role as co-editor of HEC Forum. I owe a great deal of my understanding of the HEC movement to Judith, whose important two works on healthcare ethics committees (published under the auspices of the American Hospital Association in 1986 and 1993, respectively) have made a major contribution to this initially North American movement. I personally became familiar with Judith's writings some years prior to the appearance of the first volume of Forum. As the readership is well aware, Judith is not only a superb editor, but a highly respected thinker and scholar. I will sorely miss her participation as co-editor. Fortunately for me, however, she has agreed to serve as a member of the Editorial Board. I therefore remain confident, since I've been reassured that I may call upon Judith for her invaluable counsel. Forum was originally published in 1989 by Pergamon Press. I wish to thank Thomasine Kushner, who published early assessments of the movement, and served as co-editor of the first two volumes, Initiating volume 11 with this issue, I take this occasion to thank the Managing Editor of the journal, the former Ms. Denise Parris (taking this occasion to congratulate her on her recent marriage to Mr. Christopher J. Smith of Canton, CT). Denise's devotion to Forum for the ten years of its publication reveals itself once again in this conversion to Corel, WordPerfect for Windows! I extend my appreciation to the Section Editors and the Members of the Editorial Board. In addition, as with all editors, I continue to depend on the many contributors and peer reviewers who serve the journal by extending unselfishly their time and talents. Finally, the unfailing support of Maja de Keijzer (Humanities & Social Sciences Division); Alexander W. Schimmelpenninck (Publisher); and the competent and cooperative people at Dordrecht (Production), enables Kluwer's editors, like myself, to see the quarterly issues through Kluwer Academic Publishers in confidence.
