Poyner Spruill was given a "Your Honor Award" by the Legal Marketing Association (LMA) at the recent 2009 Annual Conference held in National Harbor, Md. We took top honors in the promotional and collateral material category for our suite of health care industry newsletters. Corridors: News for North Carolina Hospitals, Shorts on Long Term Care, and Hospice EndNotes won as a package of collateral material for providing readership value and promoting the firm’s robust health care practice. Editors Wilson Hayman, Ken Burgess, and Mike Hale oversee each issue of their respective publications with an eye toward providing fresh content and thought leadership for each of these niche health care markets. Congratulations to Corridors editor Wilson Hayman!
