The twelve member editorial board selected the winners in each of the ten Nettie Award categories. The 2004 Nettie Award winners are announced in the September issues of MD Net Guide and are posted on the website (www. mdng. com).

“The Internet is an integral part of what we do here at MD Net Guide” remarked Tighe Blazier, General Manager of Intellisphere, LLC. “One of our main purposes is to filter Internet resources and direct doctors and patients to the best sites for medical information, so we have a good idea of what’s out there,” Blazier said.
With the importance of information technology in medicine and the use of the Internet rapidly increasing among practitioners, sources like MD Net Guide are valuable to the medical community and both doctors and patients turn to them as a trusted resource for showing them how to make the most of Web-based information, resources, and tools.

It’s a great opportunity for us to express our appreciation to the people and organizations that go above and beyond to produce and maintain accurate, well-designed, and reliable websites to support the healthcare community” Blazier said. “I think the people we recognize also appreciate it.
