ALPHARETTA, GA--(Marketwire - Mar 27, 2013) - In recognition of GI Nurses Day and the many GI professionals who dedicate themselves to patient care, EndoChoice, Inc. is honoring four GI professionals who were selected as EndoHeroes in 2012.

EndoHeroes are GI professionals who go above and beyond, who do their job and also contribute to their community and the well-being of others. They not only offer exceptional patient care, but they are involved with programs that improve the lives of others. The four recognized by EndoChoice are:
