WEGO Health Awards Are Here; Nominate Someone Today

Hey everyone!

It’s that time of the year again known as the WEGO Health Awards!  The WEGO Health Awards recognize patient leaders, influencers, and organizations who are making a difference through their advocacy.  With 16 categories ranging from Best in Show: YouTube to Advocating For Another, WEGO helps us recognize patient leaders who are doing impactful work.  When a person is nominated, more people are exposed to their message.

If you know a patient rockstar whose work has impacted you, I encourage you to take a minute and nominate them today!

This is an example of a nomination – I nominated Christina Huff of Bipolar Hot Mess for Best in Show: Blog.

“I love Christina’s honesty about life with bipolar disorder on Bipolar Hot Mess. As someone who has bipolar, I find her candor comforting in a world that makes it hard to be frank about mental illness. She also posts helpful videos to YouTube. Christi is a true friend to me and many people – she regularly interacts with her readers on social media”
