Northwestern receives award

Northwestern Health Sciences University’s Natural News Service received a Gold Award in the 13th annual National Health Information Awards for consumer decision-making information.

The Natural News Service provides four articles a month on natural healthcare to 900 newspapers in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and South Dakota covering such topics as backpack safety, shoveling safety, and healthy holiday eating. Other topics have included natural remedies for headaches, posture, acupuncture for allergies, and the benefits of massage therapy.

More than 1,000 entries were submitted for the awards; a national panel of health information experts evaluated the submissions. Other recipients include the Mayo Clinic, Ladies Home Journal, Shape Magazine, Parents Magazine, March of Dimes, the American Heart Association, and Girl Scouts of the USA.

The awards program is coordinated by the Health Information Resource Center, which promotes the distribution of accurate, timely consumer health information materials to professionals and managers in the field.
