Honored is an understatement. We did not expect a three-peat, but winning the MM+M Gold award for Healthcare Consumer Media Brand three times in a row is a true testament to HealthCentral's incredible editorial, multimedia, and social teams, who always have the patient in mind when creating and delivering medically vetted content. We are also elated to announce that our newly rebranded professional-serving oncology website, Oncology News Central, received Silver for Healthcare Professional Media Brand. This is again a team effort across departments to provide expertly curated news, daily newsletters, peer-to-peer oncologist conversations, and roundtable expert discussions via videos and podcasts. "These achievements speak to our commitment to deliver premier content that informs, educates, and builds community for both people living with chronic illness and the professionals who care for them," said Steven Zatz, M.D., CEO of HealthCentral Corp. Please join us in congratulating our award-winning brands and all other winners of the 2024 MM+M awards 👏 Full press release: https://lnkd.in/eK7wytVQ

America has a public restroom problem - and HealthCentral and the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation are partnering up to raise awareness about the issue in the hopes that it creates better bathroom access for those living with IBD. "The scarcity of clean, accessible public restrooms affects everyone, but it's particularly challenging for individuals with IBD who manage a chronic condition with unpredictable and often urgent symptoms," said Michael Osso, President and CEO, Crohn's & Colitis Foundation. The lack of public restrooms is just one of the vital issues highlighted in a quarterly series from HealthCentral and the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation, which will highlight a range of issues, including barriers to care, the role of IBD and the environment, and new perspectives on measuring disease severity. "Through our partnership with the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation, we can help shed light on the difficulties faced by the IBD community as they move through their daily lives, and provide insights and updates on treatments, environmental impacts, and barriers that hinder people from getting the care and support they need," said Jo-Ann Strangis, Chief Content Officer of HealthCentral.

Each week during Pride Month we will highlight the importance of self-care and safe-sex practices, and the obstacles often faced in accessing affirming care in the LGBTQ+ and IBD communities.

As a part of a new editorial series on obesity, HealthCentral surveyed hundreds of readers who shared their thoughts on the new obesity meds that are shaking up the weight-loss landscape—and the results are eye-opening. Found through the survey and reported on in this press release about the series, nearly two-thirds of people on weight loss drugs stop due to side effects: https://lnkd.in/gTRacs4x. And that is just a glimpse into what this survey and series uncovers about the state of obesity in the U.S. The series includes the latest on obesity science; the role of exercise in managing obesity and lowering risk; GLP-1s and health disparities; the emotional impact of obesity medications, and whether BMI and weigh-ins at the doctor's office still matter.
