Award Programs
Membership in WHPRMS comes with several opportunities for you to be recognized for your outstanding work and your collective educational and career achievements. You can also nominate other members you admire as stars in their field for WHPRMS’ highest honor. Explore the unique opportunities of the three programs outlined below, and start preparing your submissions today! Each year, WHPRMS recognizes our members’ excellence and success in the practice of healthcare public relations and marketing through a judged awards program. In 2025, WHPRMS members' work that is completed–and results measured–between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, may be entered for recognition in two categories: Single-channel /asset campaigns and Multi-channel/asset campaigns. The person who enters must have worked on the project being entered. All winning entries will be honored during an awards banquet at the WHPRMS Annual Conference, September 25 in Wisconsin Dells. The entry process begins June 2, and the deadline is July 15, 2025. Learn more today! Leadership Recognition: For your Ongoing Development The Leadership Recognition Program is designed to reward members who excel in their profession. Every WHPRMS member who meets the program criteria may apply for this recognition. The program offers three progressive levels: Certified, Accredited and Fellow. Fellows are the highest tier and are best defined as professionals in healthcare marketing and public relations who demonstrate exceptional competence and ability in the areas of leadership, problem solving, innovation and creativity, and organizational impact. Professional Excellence Award: For a Distinguished Career The Professional Excellence Award is a great way to recognize a colleague who has earned the respect of others. If there is a WHPRMS member you admire in the healthcare industry, if they have been your mentor, your confidant, your beacon in the fog, or perhaps it is just blatantly obvious they really know their stuff, then nominate them for WHPRMS’ Professional Excellence Award. Only one person earns this distinguished honor each year! View |
