“Often, individuals go to our website before ever entering one of our facilities,” explained Jennifer Neis, Altru’s website coordinator of over 11 years. “This is our first and sometimes only opportunity to engage an individual. We make sure our information is accurate and easy to find. The IMA Best in Class is the most impressive and largest website award Altru has received.”
