W3-design Re-vamps Kaiser Permanente Site.
 
W3-design, based in Hollywood and New York City, has re-launched the Kaiser Permanente California site. W3 has developed Web-based communities for the 1997 Academy Awards, AST Computer, The Hollywood Reporter, Infiniti, KCRW/National Public Radio, and Paramount Pictures (including "Mission: Impossible," one of the most heavily-trafficked movie promotional sites ever, among others). 

The re-vamped Kaiser Permanente California site offers everything from wellness information to membership updates to health-conscious recipes. A coordinated effort of California Kaiser Permanente and the L.A. offices of W3-design, Inc., the new site offers news-you-can-use health information for both Kaiser Permanente members and non-members, including a health tip of the day, employment opportunities and a quarterly Webzine called Partners in Health, which focuses on a variety of health-related issues including sports and fitness, food and nutrition and how to deal with cold and flu season.

What makes California Kaiser Permanente's revamped site particularly compelling is the degree to which users can interact with the healthcare organization through the Internet, according to Jacqueline De Angelis, new media technology director for Kaiser Permanente in Southern California. 

Kaiser Permanente's five million members will soon be able to receive real-time customer service through the Web site, including requesting brochures, receiving replacement membership cards and inquiring about benefits information. Future enhancements will include RealAudio tapes and scripts on health information, which will enable members to draw on the expertise of top health care professionals, De Angelis said.

The URLwire Effect:
"URLwire is without question the most effective way to tell the right people in the online world about your web site."
—  CoolShopping.com

"My experience with URLWire has been entirely positive. I received coverage (and links!) from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which had over 500,000 readers. Resulting traffic has been more than impressive. URLwire demonstrated to me that it's the prime choice for announcing a web site."

"Eric, URLwire got our site covered and linked online in places we'd tried for months to get in without success. And, URLwire did it in one day."
