November 8, 2019

Morristown, NJ – Modern Healthcare, one of the industry's leading sources of healthcare business and policy news, research and information, has recognized Atlantic Health System as one of the Best Website Campaigns of the year for the launch of their interactive mobile-first website.

The Healthcare Marketing Impact Awards are designed to recognize healthcare's best advertising, marketing, promotion and communication campaigns on and across all media platforms. The awards program honors campaigns that advance provider, insurer, supplier and advocacy group efforts to deliver high quality, affordable and accessible healthcare; promote the health of individual patients, groups and communities; and help organizations thrive and grow in today's rapidly changing healthcare environment.

Judges for Modern Healthcare reviewed the transformation of the Atlantic Health System website (atlantichealth.org) and its ability to assist consumers who were seeking specific care and could benefit from the digital door of the system’s website. Additionally, judges reviewed how Atlantic Health System communicated about its new digital functionality across all mediums, both internally to Atlantic Health team members and externally to patients and consumers, including print, radio, television and out of home. These communications focused on consumer needs and using the new website to improve the way Atlantic Health System is able to meet those needs.

“Our patients must be able to connect to the health care resources they need with ease,” said Valerie Simon, Chief Marketing Officer, Atlantic Health System. “The launch of the website represents a milestone in our ongoing quest to make accessing care faster and more convenient for the communities we serve.”

The complete list of this year’s winners is available here. Modern Healthcare announced the list of winners in its publication on November 4.

“When health care marketers are able to cut through the noise and make an impression, it should be rewarded. The winners of the 2019 Healthcare Marketing Impact Awards created meaningful and engaging campaigns that connected with their audiences,” said Modern Healthcare Editor, Aurora Aguilar.
