Meet Louis (Skip) Weiss, Publisher
Louis A. (Skip) Weiss founded Northwest Publishing in 1998, inspired by his family’s long-standing commitment to healthcare in the Chicago community. In 1953, his family opened Louis A. Weiss Memorial Hospital, a community institution that continues to serve residents on Chicago’s North Side. Through Northwest Publishing, Skip continues that legacy by sharing important health stories and information with the community.
Skip’s work is driven by a love for publishing and a commitment to meaningful storytelling. As the Publisher of Chicago Health and Caregiving magazines, he helps provide trusted resources for healthcare consumers, families, and professionals who guide important healthcare decisions.
Under his leadership, Chicago Health and Caregiving have earned recognition for excellence from organizations including the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the Chicago Headline Club, and the Illinois Women’s Press Association.
