HUMC Press Releases

SpaFinder, Inc., the global spa resource, recently announced BEYOND Medical Spa at Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC) has been named among the Top 10 Best Spas in the World for the Best Medical Program in its fifth annual Spa Finder Readers' Choice Awards. Based on thousands of votes submitted by Spafinder.com visitors and Luxury SpaFinder Magazine, the awards represent the most complete consumer assessment of the global spa market. This is the second time that BEYOND Medical Spa has received this award – the first being in 2005.

"Now in its fifth year, our Readers' Choice Awards have become the industry's premier award program – the spa world's answer to the Academy Awards," said Sue Ellis, president of Spa Finder, Inc. "With a huge surge in the international voting and more than twice as many votes overall compared to last year, this represents an especially meaningful validation of the spa experience provided by BEYOND Medical Spa."

"Our clients understand the benefits of going to a medical spa versus a conventional spa. We provide services that are geared toward fighting the effects of aging," said Stephen Colen, M.D., chairman of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at HUMC. "BEYOND is committed to making our clients' skin and overall appearance the best it can be and the 2007 Readers Choice Award tells us we are achieving and even exceeding the results clients seek."

Uniting the finest in spa and medical services, BEYOND creates a superior level of complete beauty care with access to nationally recognized dermatologists and plastic surgeons. The spa offers men, women, and teenagers a full spectrum of services such as invigorating body treatments, purifying facials, soothing pedicures, the latest in safe tanning treatments, as well as services typically found solely in a dermatologist or plastic surgeon's office. Working in conjunction with the Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, services such as cosmetic breast procedures, BOTOX®, laser, facial rejuvenation, and body contouring, are available.

To help spa consumers identify the best spas for their unique goals, Spa Finder asked its readers and web visitors to name their picks for the best spas in 23 specific categories – from "best accommodations" and "best cuisine," to "best for men" and "best urban hotel spa." Spa-goers also selected their favorite spas on six continents. In all, ballots were cast for more than 1,500 different spa properties worldwide. Voters were asked to only cast ballots for stay spas they've personally visited within the past three years. For a complete list of 2007 Readers' Choice winners, please visit www.spafinder.com.
