DETROIT, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- IDG's CIO magazine announced today that Health Plan of Michigan is a recipient of the 2008 CIO 100 award. The 21st annual award program recognizes organizations around the world that have distinguished themselves by creating business value through the effective and innovative use of information technology. This is the second year in a row that HPM has been honored with a CIO 100 award.

The 2008 CIO 100 awards will be presented at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 26, 2008 at the conclusion of the tenth annual CIO 100 Symposium(R) and Awards Ceremony.
