New York, New York (Vocus) January 18, 2010 -- After months in development, and several weeks in beta pre-launch, Dr. Nase and Vascular Health Specialists (VHS), have announced the official launch of the Rosacea Knowledge Forum (www.rosaceaknowledgeforum.com).
The forum is the result of years of research and patient interaction and discussions, and is designed to be the industry’s leading source of rosacea news, research, information and discussion. Dr. Geoffrey Nase, Ph.D, and author of "Beating Rosacea” and www.drnase.com, is the force behind the Forum, and serves as the site’s chief administrator facilitates the advice, references and answers to members’ questions.
According to Dr. Nase, the Rosacea Knowledge Forum fills a previously unserved void within the Rosacea community, "As an active member of the online rosacea community for the past 11 years, I have seen the need for an online forum where members can feel comfortable and safe to go to post their questions and find much needed professional answers to help them with this condition. The few remaining forums do not stick to topic and answers are often pure speculation”.
Understanding the needs for sensitivity within the community, the Forum was created with a number of security and privacy measures designed to create a platform where members, researchers and physicians could feel comfortable expressing their views and asking the questions they most needed answers to. As Dr. Nase explains, "We created the Rosacea Knowledge Forum as a source for professional, productive and open discussion of all issues related to rosacea, a safe harbor for information to the millions of rosacea sufferers in the US, and around the world.”
Developed over the last 6 months of 2009, and soft launched in December, word of the Rosacea Knowledge Forum grew rapidly. In just over six weeks, membership in the site has grown to over 700 active members, making it the fastest growing rosacea community in history….and the second largest rosacea-based forum. According to Dr. Nase, this growth surpassed even their own optimistic assumptions, "While we knew of the demand for such a forum from hundreds of emails and requests over the years, we were still shocked at the speed in which the forum has grown, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the way the rosacea community has supported and flocked to this unique forum.”
As a result of this overwhelming reception, efforts to support and grow the Forum have increased, and further enhancements, resources and information will continue to build the Forum in 2010.
