Dispensing
information is just as important is dispensing medication. Clear
communication is vital in every public health situation - by providing
accurate information, informing people of risk, and motivating healthy
changes.
We
create health education materials that are shared
with other agencies nationwide including the "Fight
the Bite" West Nile virus campaign, the "Chicken
About Bird Flu?" avian influenza website and
the "Give Your Child
a Shot at Success" children's immunization
campaign.
We
also partner with other organizations to promote local and
national public health initiatives, including three PBS series "Rx
for Survival," "Take
One Step" and "Unnatural
Causes" the 9Health
Fair, Race
for the Cure and the Body
Worlds and Benjamin
Franklin museum exhibitions.
Award-Winning Health Campaigns:
Our
annual report, “An
Ounce of Prevention... What Is It Really Worth?” received
the first-place “Gold Leaf Award” from the Colorado Healthcare Communicators
Association; our "Fight the
Bite" West Nile virus campaign won the Model Practices Award ( their highest honor) from The National Association
of County and City Health Officials, and is currently used across the country;
and our "Chicken
About Bird Flu?"
campaign and "Public
Health Heroes"
annual report each won the bronze award from the National Public Health Information
Coalition.
