The Minnesota Health Strategy & Communications Network’s 2009 Beacon Awards were announced Thursday, July 23 at the MHSCN Summer Conference in Chaska. The Beacon Awards are designed to promote effective communication about an issue that affects everyone — health care — said MHSCN Awards Chairwoman Martha Parsons. Projects range from producing employee newsletters to managing communications with the public when a crisis hits.
“We all know health care can be very complex,” Parsons said. “Even so, these winners managed to convey their messages clearly and compellingly to achieve enviable results.”
Seventeen projects were recognized with a Beacon Award. Thirteen professionals evaluated the communications, public relations, strategic planning, research and marketing projects. Recipients are named below; click here for more information about MHSCN’s Beacon Awards Program.
