George and LouAnn Reed, owners of three Massage Envy locations in the St. Louis area, have been named the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities (APSCU) Honorable Mention Employer of the Year.
In business since 2005, the Reeds have employed 158 career college graduates, including nearly 50 who graduated from Anthem College campuses in Maryland Heights and Fenton. The Reeds have actively engaged with Anthem College, a member of APSCU, and work with College massage therapy instructors on curriculum enhancements, serve as guest lecturers, and help students prepare for employment interviews.
“We are delighted that George and LouAnn Reed have received this important recognition,” says Anthem Education Chancellor and CEO James Hutton, PhD. “Although employers generally do not receive enough recognition for their support of career education, they are a vital element in the career education equation.”

We at Anthem thank George and LouAnn Reed for their outstanding efforts.”
