Prevention Matters

"America's Health Rankings" has been named a finalist for the Public Relations Society of America's Silver Anvil and Award of Excellence.

The annual report, which each year gives comparative rankings to all 50 states and the District of Columbia, is a joint project of Partnership for Prevention, United Health Foundation and the American Public Health Association, with the assistance of Fleischman-Hilliard public relations firm. It receives significant media attention each year when it is released, and helps call attention not only to the nation's health status but also to the ways health risk factors in each state.

The Silver Anvil awards are iconic of the best practices of the public relations industry. The winners will be announced June 4 at a celebration event in New York City. For more information on America's Health Rankings, read more here.
