HealthyPlace.com Wins eHealthcare Leadership Awards

HealthyPlace.com Gets Gold for Best Overall Internet Health Site and Best Healthcare Content

For the third year running, HealthyPlace.com is pleased to announce it has been recognized as a leader in providing trusted mental health information by the eHealthcare Leadership awards. This year HealthyPlace.com has been awarded:

• Gold in the award category of Best Overall Health Site
• Gold in the award category of Best Healthcare Content
• Distinction in the award category of Best Care/Disease Management site

HealthyPlace.com holds awards in these categories alongside prestigious organizations like the American Foundation for the Blind and The Mount Sinai Medical Center. Both the Best Overall Health Site and the Best Healthcare Content categories drew the most heated competition.

Over 1100 entries were received for eHealthcare Leadership awards in 14 categories and were judged by 115 individuals familiar with healthcare and the internet. Sites were judged on over a variety of factors. For example, those in the Best Overall Health Site category were judged on over 40 factors including delivery of strong health content, interactivity and strength of web design.

Gary Koplin, President of HealthyPlace.com noted, “our whole team deserves the recognition for these awards. It is gratifying to know that the hard work put in by our editors, writers, bloggers and producers is being recognized by a leading awards program. Our Medical Director, Dr. Harry Croft, also deserves a big thank-you for helping us keep our content quality so high.”

2012 marked a major overhaul of healthcare content on the HealthyPlace.com website. Major categories such as depression, addictions and self-injury have all been rewritten to reflect the most up-to-date information. HealthyPlace.com also debuted a brand new website design in 2012 that enhanced the user-friendliness of the site and improved access to the quality content.

“We aim to provide reliable, trustworthy information for all those living with or loving someone with a mental illness. These awards just mean we’re on the right track and will spur us forward into 2013 with even more improvements to the site,” says Koplin.
