Established in 2006, Spring Publishing’s key mission is to promote graceful ageing and prove that one can live a fabulous life, especially in their golden years. Today’s senior population is undeniably more health savvy and a lot more conscious when it comes to making decisions that will affect their health and lifestyle and Spring Publishing strives to cater to these needs.
Spring Publishing currently publishes Prime, Singapore’s premier lifestyle magazines for those who are in the prime of their life, the life that begins at 40! With a readership of over 75,000, the bimonthly Prime is a treasure trove of health tips, travelogues, food, leisure and much more.
We regularly organise health seminars and forums, providing opportunities for our readers to learn from the experts. We also collaborate with doctors and medical professionals to bring the latest health news straight to readers’ doorsteps.
Spring Publishing stays digitally connected to readers through our webpage as well as our medical mobile app, Doc.sg, a one-stop mobile platform that connects users quickly to expert and professional help and other health information.
