Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 04, 2011
Twelve programs that demonstrate innovation and success in improving health in community and workplace settings around the world were named today as finalists for 2011 International Health Promotion Awards (http://www.aihpa.org).
The awards, presented by two leaders in health promotion, URAC and the Care Continuum Alliance, will be presented during a symposium in Rome, Italy, December 5 and 6.
These programs represent some of the best ideas in community and workplace health promotion currently being implemented with successful results, said Alan P. Spielman, President and CEO of URAC. Through this symposium, we are striving to be a voice for these programs, sharing them throughout the health care industry. Our hope is that others can learn from and replicate these innovative ideas to bring health advances to people around the world.
An expert panel of judges comprising health care professionals from around the world chose the IHPA finalists, who were evaluated based on their online submissions and who will present their programs during the IHPA Symposium.
