During this week we will have an opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends. We know others will be facing difficulty celebrating Thanksgiving during these tough economic times. I want to offer the following thoughts as reminders of what this day means:
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
“Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.“
Edward Sandford Martin
“Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.”
Erma Bombeck
“Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.”
W.T. Purkiser
“Forever on Thanksgiving Day the heart will find the pathway home.”
Wilbur D. Nesbit
On a personal note, we are thankful for our clients and employees. We know without them there is no MEDSEEK.
We are excited to share that on November 10-12th, MEDSEEK attended the 12th Annual Healthcare Internet Conference in Orlando, Florida. On November 11th we were honored to see five of our clients receive eHealthcare Leadership Awards for outstanding health Web sites. The winners were:
-
Alegent Health, received the Platinum award for Best Newsroom

Henry Ford Health System, received a Silver award for Best Overall Internet site and was a finalist for the eHealth Organizational Commitment award
-
Iowa Health, received the Silver award for Best Intranet Site
-

The eHealthcare Leadership Awards highlight the Internet's role in achieving an organization's business objectives and recognize the hard work involved in creating outstanding health Web sites. Over 1,100 entries were submitted and 114 individuals familiar with healthcare and the Internet judged the entries. We are proud to work with these award-winning organizations and thank the MEDSEEK staff members that helped our clients bring these projects to life. Congratulations!
