With this issue, The Primary Care Companion to The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry is 5 years old. I am delighted to assume the editorship. Through its first 4 volumes, J. Sloan Manning, MD, has provided outstanding editorial leadership—leadership that has clearly demonstrated the importance of a journal that provides primary care clinicians and mental health professionals working with them an outlet for original research and guidance regarding the integration of mental healthcare with primary care. We anticipate Sloan’s continuing work with the Companion as he enters a new phase of his career.
