Sent on behalf of Meg Riley, Federal Government Affairs Manager, American Diabetes Association:
Dear Call to Congress Participants-
In May, I wrote to ask you to vote for the Y's Diabetes Prevention Program as it was being considered by the Department of Health and Human Services for their 2011 Healthy Living Innovation Awards. Now I am writing to let you know that HHS announced last week that the Y program will be receiving the award! The Y and the other winners are innovative health promotion programs that have demonstrated significant impact on the health of a community.
For more information see this link: http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2011pres/07/20110715a.html. Thanks for voting and helping this important program get this recognition.
Meg
