Sickbay Health Media, Inc. Schedules Second eHealth Alliance Summit
Over 90 eHealth Companies To Meet December 5, 2000 in New York City
MELVILLE, N.Y.-(BW HealthWire)--Nov. 2, 2000-- Sickbay Health Media, Inc. (Nasdaq OTC: SKBY - news) today announced that the Second eHealth Alliance Summit, a coalition of over 90 independent health websites created to develop a cooperative health media, content and services channel has been scheduled to coincide with the eHealthcare World Convention in New York City on Tuesday, December 5, 2000.
The eHealth Alliance is the largest cooperative effort among health related websites whose members benefit from an array of media, technology, and marketing services and products. ``Sickbay has been leading this initiative for about a month and the response from both online eHealth companies, and from more traditional health companies has been astounding,'' explained Mark R. Basile, CEO of Sickbay Health Media, Inc. In five short weeks the Alliance has identified several areas that it will focus on to improve overall traffic, content, e-commerce, interactive tools and engineering services for its members. ``I am deeply impressed with the level and spirit of cooperation and creativity these individual companies have demonstrated. We have identified Alliance members' needs for a wide variety of accurate health content, requests for specific interactive health tools, back-end engineering and database programming and ad hosting services,'' commented Andrew Kelly, Vice President of Business Development for Sickbay Health Media, Inc. ``Some of the members have already formed strategic partnerships through the Alliance exchange program, others have requested various custom media services to improve information and presentation offerings from their sites, and others seek help with business plan development and plan execution. This is a very exciting time for eHealth as our market segment bands together to resolve issues that have been postponing its inevitable growth,'' noted Mr. Kelly.
