Overview
MedHonors.com is operated by Silent Rich LLC, doing business as Expert Honors and MedHonors.com. We are committed to full transparency regarding our commercial relationships. This disclosure is made in accordance with the FTC's 2023 updated Guides Concerning Endorsements and Testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255).
Our Business Model
Awards Program (Editorial): Our awards program recognizes outstanding medical professionals, healthcare providers, hospitals, and healthcare organizations based on editorial selection criteria. Award selection is independent and not influenced by any commercial relationship. No purchase is required. The award recognition itself is free.
Commercial Products and Services (Paid): Separately, MedHonors.com offers optional paid products and services: Directory Listings (paid subscriptions for enhanced directory placement and visibility), Promotional Products (trophies, plaques, commemorative items), and Promotional Services (sponsored features, press distribution, social media amplification, and other marketing services).
Payment for any commercial product or service does not influence, guarantee, or affect award selection. These are entirely separate tracks.
Important: Awards Are Not Clinical Endorsements
MedHonors.com recognition, whether editorial or paid, does not constitute a clinical endorsement, peer review determination, assessment of medical competency, or recommendation for patient care. All recognition on this platform is for professional visibility and marketing purposes only. Patients and consumers should consult licensed healthcare providers independently of any recognition displayed on this Site.

MedHonors.com may publish sponsored content, advertisements, and promotional materials, clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," "Partner Content," or similar. We may receive compensation from medical professionals, healthcare organizations, and other companies featured on this Site.
