NorthPoint Domain Becomes SVS Gold Sponsor
Chicago, IL - (December 13, 2007) NorthPoint Domain, a privately held firm based in Boston, is now a Gold sponsor of the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS), after 3 years of successful collaboration. NorthPoint developed the targeted patient information for the SVS website, VascularWeb.org. This Patient Information library, available to the public on VascularWeb.org, is based on NorthPoint Domain's Patient Literacy Center content.
The Patient Information articles on VascularWeb.org explain vascular conditions, tests and treatment options to help patients make more informed decisions about their medical care. "The rapid growth of endovascular procedures gives patients more treatment options than ever before," said Dr. K. Wayne Johnston, SVS president. "With 160 million Americans using the Internet to find health information, the web offers a tremendous opportunity to help patients have a better-informed discussion with their physicians about the merits of endovascular as well as open procedures. Our collaboration with NorthPoint Domain has helped the SVS engage the growing population of consumers looking for credible medical information on the Internet. We believe in the physician as the primary provider of patient care and information, and we wanted to partner with a company that shares our commitment to excellence. We are pleased that NorthPoint Domain is now one of our Gold sponsors, and it's exciting to see that our work together is receiving more than 1 million visits annually on www.VascularWeb.org.
"NorthPoint Domain has been committed to vascular medicine since our inception almost eight years ago. Our team has developed its vascular and e-health expertise by working with leading specialists in this field, and closely following the evolution of the care delivery model while holding the physician-patient relationship central to our values and operations," said Rony Sellam, president and COO of NorthPoint Domain. "We are particularly honored to be a Gold sponsor of the SVS, who has displayed a clear commitment to advancing excellence and innovation in vascular health. The growing use of VascularWeb.org shows that the society's leadership in using the Internet to make high-quality medical information available to the public is yielding significant results."
