Danville, CA, December 25, 2005 - DrGreene.com, a leading heathcare portal received the 2005 Health Improvement Institute’s top honor, the Aesculapius Award for the best health site on the Internet.  The DrGreene.com site marries a wealth of pediatric resources and informational content with advanced website technology to promote children’s health and well-being.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by the Health Improvement Institute for this prestigious award.  We are pleased to be sharing the honor of the Aesculapius Award with MedSeek, our technical partner since 2001” said Dr. Greene, MD, FAAP, founder and CEO of DrGreene.com, father of four, and author of the popular pregnancy and newborn book, From First Kicks to First Steps.

Dr. Greene and his wife, Cheryl first launched the site in response to his patients’ questions. “When we started this site I was looking for a way to provide more in-depth information for my own patients.
