Posted on February 18, 2000

Pat Corpora, President, Rodale Book Division and Barbara Newton, Vice President and Director of Publishing for Women's Health magazines at Rodale, has announced the appointment of Anne Alexander as Editorial Director of Rodale Books Healthy Living Group. At the same time, Rodale unveiled the launch of a new imprint Prevention Health Books.

Alexander, currently Vice President and Editor-in-Chief of Prevention magazine, will continue to oversee the editorial direction, design, and content of the magazine while adding responsibility for the editorial direction of books in Rodale's Healthy Living Group, including the new Prevention Health Books imprint.
