East Stroudsburg, PA – Healthypoconos.com announced the launch of their comprehensive online health and wellness website.
Elika Almeida, Chief Marketing Officer for healthypoconos.com, remarked, “Our website makes it easy to locate a medical practitioner or alternative medicine provider and to get information on local fitness resources like gyms and fitness classes. We are also providing special sections on issues that have been identified as important to the Poconos such as one on behavioral health.”
Susan Washington, CEO, noted that Healthypoconos.com is the Pocono Mountain’s ONLY comprehensive online hub for health and wellness information and it would be providing daily updates on local health and wellness topics with articles submitted by area physicians and health-focused businesses.
Washington noted that healthypoconos.com has been created to provide local residents with a comprehensive directory of Physicians, hospital and care centers, a calendar of health-related community events, healthy recipes and nutrition tips, a listing of pharmacies, coupons for health/fitness centers and stores, free health videos and much more.
“We will also be adding customized physician pages to our online network that will display the kind of information that patients currently have to call into the practice for. For example, hours of operation, health insurance coverage and location”, added Almeida. “We will also be introducing online forms so that patients can print out and complete before an appointment. Our goal is to make life simpler for both doctor and patients and to close the gaps that currently exist in health and wellness in our community”.
The need for a robust and comprehensive online tool like Healthypoconos.com is evident. As Dr. Donna Hamilton, Chief Wellness Officer for Manifest Excellence explains, “In an era where a significant number of people conduct on-line searches rather than use the yellow pages, a site that offers a detailed listing of our regions health resources will complement area providers’ existing marketing efforts and local agencies’ work. I applaud the Healthypoconos.com vision to offer comprehensive listings supporting Pocono residents and visitors as they address their health needs.”
