Solstice Benefits Honored in Spring 2017 Digital Health Awards Competition

PLANTATION, Fla., June 20, 2017 (Newswire.com) - ​Dental and vision insurer Solstice Benefits, Inc., (Solstice) was selected as a winner in the 19th annual Digital Health Awards program, which is organized by the Health Information Resource Center(SM) (HIRC), a national clearinghouse for professionals who work in consumer health fields. This competition — held twice each year: Fall and Spring — recognizes the world’s best digital health resources.

Solstice’s quarterly member newsletter (Winter 2016 edition) received a Merit Award in the Web-Based Newsletter category. Newsletters are one of the ways Solstice focuses on building greater consumer understanding and engagement, which leads to higher participation and utilization of insurance benefits.

“We were delighted to participate in the 2017 Digital Health Awards competition, and were honored to be selected as a winner,” said Alissa Gavrilescu, Solstice’s Director of Marketing. “Our winning entry was chosen from nearly 500 entries judged by a panel of distinguished experts in digital health media.”

Other well-known HIRC programs include the annual National Health Information Awards(SM), (healthawards.com) which annually recognizes the nation’s best consumer health programs and materials (for non-digital resources), and the annual National Women’s Health & Fitness Day® (fitnessday.com/women).
