The Childhood Lead Program team: Brigitte Dufour, Amber Asburry, Melissa Tegarden and Stephen Grieco-Shapiro

Every year the Arizona Public Health Association presents the Health Education Media Maker Yearly (HEMMY) Award to recognize achievements in health education. I’m happy to announce that our Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program and our Diabetes Program both won first place awards.

The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program earned a first place award for the Childhood Lead Screening- A Guide for Professionals campaign.

The Diabetes Program won a first place award for their diabetes primary prevention toolkit Agents of Change.

Congratulations to everyone who worked on these projects!
