Irvine, California, April 13, 2005 — Ignite Health has been named among the Top 50 Healthcare Advertising Agencies for the second year in a row, according to the Med Ad News yearly agency report.

Ignite Health was also honored with an "Agency on the Rise" nomination in the 16th Annual Med Ad News Manny Awards, presented April 12, 2005, in New York City. The "Agency on the Rise" nomination is based on factors such as year-over-year growth and client retention.
