NORRISTOWN, Pa – TherapyTimes.com, the only all-inclusive community Web site for therapy professionals in the healthcare industry, has been honored by the American Society of Healthcare Publication Editors (ASHPE) for its Web site and weekly electronic newsletter. Therapy Times won silver awards in the “Best Overall Web Publication” and “Best E-Newsletter” categories, marking the first awards, recognizing the Web site and its accompanying newsletter, both of which premiered in 2005.

“Since its launch last spring, we have seen Therapy Times grow at an unprecedented rate,” says Therapy Times Publisher Heather Brennan Koitzsch, RD. “To be honored by a highly acclaimed organization, such as the ASHPE, helps set our standards of excellence in serving our readers and their needs.”

The ASHPE Awards program was established to recognize outstanding editorial excellence and achievement in healthcare publications. It offers an opportunity for editors to measure their efforts and their publication against the best the healthcare sector has to offer and to know where they rate in comparison to their peers and competitors.
