"Winning national awards, which pit our work against the best healthcare marketing around the country, is just a remarkable confirmation of the professionalism and creativity of our in-house team," says Mark Attales, director of community relations at LGMC. "The Pelican Awards are no less an honor for several reasons, the most important of which is that each entry had to show results in addition to being highly creative and unique. To be judged tops in nine separate categories is just outstanding."

National Healthcare Marketing Report Awards won are: Gold, Website/Home Page -- LafayetteGeneral.com; Silver, New Media -- Pavilion Reception Invite; Silver, Newspaper Ad/Series -- da Vinci Ad Campaign; Merit, Television Ad/Series -- Pavilion for women and children.

Three times in a row confirms that our writing team is the best in Louisiana." This year, Leslie Davis took home the top honor for the Pavilion 'Never Miss A Moment' brochure.
