It is always nice to be acknowledged for the long hours you put in on a project, and even better with you win an award for it! So we are pleased to announce that The Fall 2008 issue of NorthBay Healthcare's quarterly magazine entitled Wellspring won the Marketing Healthcare Today magazine's Gold Aster Award for outstanding excellence in healthcare advertising. This is Wellspring's first Gold Aster Award, however it has won several other national awards over the years including the "Bronze Anvil" from the Public Relations Society of America.

We have had the pleasure of working on Wellspring for over 12 years and have seen it change from a two color newsletter to a full color magazine averaging from 32 to 40 pages. Publications are a collaboration between editor and designer in which each spread is fussed over until all the individual parts come together to form an engaging story that can't be passed up. This would not be possible without interesting content. With that in mind we would like to congratulate NorthBay Healthcare on this thoughtful – as well as educational – magazine that highlights those in the healthcare profession. We look forward to each issue and hope to be part of it for years to come!
