I happily congratulate the accomplished group of Best in Class finalists and winners who accepted their awards at the Ninth Annual Best in Class Awards ceremony on Monday, November 7 at our 2011 Client Conference!

At a fun and festive luncheon, we announced the winners in 11 categories and presented All Children’s Hospital, St. Petersburg, Florida with the Best Overall Web Site award.

The creativity and high level of innovation was impressive – both in their solutions to challenges and with their strategic approach to driving conversations and business.

Be sure to check out these BIC Web sites, initiatives and programs – they are the finest in hospital and healthcare Web site design, content, functionality and such strategic thinking. Or download a copy of the winners’ brochure. Thank you to all for such dynamic and engaging entries.
