It’s the World’s Cuddliest Healthcare Site!

st-francis-greenville.jpg

To encourage Greenville, South Carolina-based users to explore the Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, Brains on Fire and Grow Interactive created Happy in Greenville, a deliciously simple information site.

“City secrets” enables users to click on an animated rendition of the city and read more about its sights — farmer’s market, Greenville Zoo, things like that. Hold your mouse down on the hot-air balloon to watch it shoot up and up.

To get down to business, read about St. Francis or find a doctor. Wherever your mouse may meander, the animation and overall experience are diligent and immersive, never too wordy — like flipping through a really useful Richard Scarry book.

Good choice of background music, too: adds to the feel-good effect but you totally forget it’s there.
