U.S. News & World Report stated, "Out of all of the roughly 5,000 U.S. hospitals, only about 1 in 30 has deep expertise in caring for children with serious problems. For youngsters who need that quality of care, the Best Children's Hospitals rankings showcase the medical centers that every day see kids who have cancer, cystic fibrosis, defective hearts and countless other life-threatening or rare conditions beyond the capabilities of most hospitals, even those with sizable pediatric departments."(1)

In addition to having several customers included in the full listing, Ektron also works with four of the top 11 "Honor Roll" hospitals including Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, Johns Hopkins Children's Center, Baltimore and Seattle Children's Hospital.  The Company provides web content management, social software and marketing optimization technology to help these hospitals better engage with their constituents – patients, families, donors, doctors and more via their websites and community portals.

"We are thrilled for our customers, as well as all the hospitals included in the U.S. News and World Report listing," said Richard Brown, Ektron's healthcare business leader.  "Our customers recognize the importance of being the best at every level – whether providing the critical care necessary to save the lives of children or ensuring that visitors to their websites get what they need immediately, easily and accurately.  These hospitals are the best-of-the-best and Ektron is proud to be working with them."
