Hilton Head Health named among best wellness retreat centers in '10Best' by USA TODAY

A Savannah-area business is under a national spotlight this week.

On Wednesday, USA Today released its 10Best Readers' Choice Awards highlighting the best in travel, lifestyle, food and drink. Hilton Head Health ranked No. 7 for the "Best Wellness Retreat Center" list.

Every week, USAT 10Best invites a panel of industry experts to nominate their favorite points of interest and attractions across a wide range of categories. 10Best editors then vet these nominations and select a final set of nominees to be presented to the voting public for a period of four weeks.
