Banding Bulletin – October 2009

Please Join Me In Welcoming Dr. Gene Overholt to The CRH Board of Directors!

As you may know, Dr. Overholt designed the flexible fiberoptic sigmoidoscope, which subsequently led to development of colonoscopy. His work in outpatient endoscopy led to the development of the first licensed and certified endoscopic ambulatory surgery center in the U.S. He is a former President of both the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and the American Society of Outpatient Surgeons.

Commenting on his appointment, Dr. Overholt said, “It is a true honor to serve as a member of the CRH Board of Directors and to participate in shaping the growth of a vibrant company. I look forward to the opportunity.” Added Overholt, “One of my goals will be to encourage wide spread use of the CRH O’Regan SystemTM as it represents a significant opportunity for all gastroenterologists to improve patient care, satisfaction and quality of life while broadening their practices.”

The New CRH Consumer Website is LIVE!

We have made huge strides in reinforcing our brand identity among hemorrhoid sufferers and medical professionals across the country with more than 16,000 potential patients coming to our website every day – this makes us even more excited to announce the new and improved CRH O’Regan SystemTM Website: www.crhsystem.com.

As you will see, the site has been redesigned to focus specifically on hemorrhoid and CRH O’Regan SystemTM education; in addition, it is much easier for potential patients to find a nearby physician that offers the System. With the additional online marketing activities we have added to support our partner physicians, we are looking forward to a rapid increase in the number of visitors each month!

If you have already posted your practice profile to the old site, it has been transferred to the new site. For those of you who have yet to post your profile, this is a perfect opportunity to start participating as we will be supporting this launch with various marketing and public relations activities this month. Please contact Alicia Johnson (800.660.2153 x1024) for any issues regarding the new website.
