Health Giant Healtheon/WebMD Consults the Specialist in Substance Abuse and Recovery: The Hazelden Foundation BUSINESS WIRE - June 21, 2000 16:10 CENTER CITY, Minn., Jun 21, 2000 (BW HealthWire) -- While end-to-end Internet health care companies are fighting tooth and nail for online customers, Healtheon/WebMD is thriving. How? By making all the right moves. For example, when WebMD.com expanded its popular daily chat rooms to include substance abuse, related diseases, and recovery and personal growth, they did what they tell Web site visitors to do: find an expert. In this case, WebMD went to the Minnesota-based Hazelden Foundation. The strategy has been highly successful. Hazelden authors are featured weekly on WebMD.com in live chat events attended by as many as 50 people. Subjects range from prevention and treatment of Hepatitis C to strategies for recovery from prescription drug abuse. Visitors can ask questions, gather advice, discuss (and purchase) the author's books, share experiences with each other, and link to other related topics. "For Hazelden, working with WebMD was clearly an opportunity. The resources we've provided for their Web site visitors are highly relevant to our mission," stated Karin Nord, Hazelden Information & Educational Services Internet Marketing Manager. "We enhance the information on their Web site on these important health issues, and millions of Americans every year can benefit." ABOUT HAZELDEN Founded in 1949, the nonprofit Hazelden Foundation pioneered the model of care for alcoholism, drug addiction, and related diseases--a model now the most widely used in the world. Hazelden has also been a leader in the recovery-related publishing field since 1954, when Twenty-Four Hours a Day was released. Today, with 50 years of experience and an unparalleled breadth of services, Hazelden is an international provider of products and services to aid in the prevention and recovery of alcoholism, drug addiction, and related diseases. Its web site at www.hazelden.org provides informational articles, research findings, the internet's largest recovery bookstore, hosted chats, virtual cards and medallions, and free daily inspirational messages.
