The radio ad, “Why
Brothers Die Early,” won a silver award in the area of patient
education information (physician/group practice division). Also winning
silver was the entry, “Waiting on the Lord,” which was honored for the
health promotion, disease and injury prevention information class
(physician, group
practice).
A third radio piece, “You Need that Mammogram,” also earned a merit
award in the same class and division. These public service
announcements were featured locally in WMGL Magic 107.3 FM and WWWZ
93.3 FM, as well as several Midlands radio stations.
“It’s an honor to continue to be recognized by the National Health
Information Awards program and others,” said Bell. “This recognition
helps validate our work and continuing effort to improve the health and
health literacy of African-Americans living in the Tri-county area and
communities throughout South Carolina.”
The awards are coordinated by the Health Information Resource Center, a
national clearinghouse for consumer health information programs and
materials.
