Reaching into the community. Winners of the 1996 MHA Patric E. Ludwig Community Service Award.
Webster's definitions of community and service form an accurate picture of what MHA seeks to reward with the 1996 MHA Patric E. Ludwig Community Service Award--members who have collaboratively worked with individuals and organizations in their communities to benefit the health and well-being of citizens. The nominees were judged on criteria that focused on true collaboration, leadership efforts, impact on community health status and innovative delivery methods. The winners were chosen from 24 deserving nominations. These four outstanding programs effectively demonstrate the spirit of community service in health care--providers working in concert with local organizations to improve the community's health status. All of the winning programs focused on healthier babies and school-aged youth. Congratulations to the winning programs. They are tangible proof of the important role MHA members play in their communities.
