About the Web Health AwardsSM

Now in its 16th year, the goal of the Web Health Awards is to recognize high-quality digital health 
resources for consumers and health professionals. The awards program is organized by the
Health Information Resource Center[sm] (HIRC), an 20-year old clearinghouse for professionals 
who work in consumer health fields.The Web Health Awards and Web Health Awards | MOBILE 
are extensions of the HIRC’s 21-year old National Health Information Awards[sm], the 
largest program of its kind in  the United States.

Because of the dynamic nature of digital health resources, the Web Health Awards competition
 is held twice each year: Winter/Spring and Summer/Fall.

Judging

Gold, Silver, Bronze and Merit certificates are awarded by Division and Category. Using a rating 
scale of 1 to 100 points, a panel of health technology professionals will judge entries based on 
content, format, success in reaching the targeted health audience and overall quality. Judges 
will review entries during the same time frame — generally a 3-4 week window — once the entry

a listing of all winners, national publicity from the HIRC, and a one-year license to use the awards program logo for marketing and 
promotional purposes

100 Resilient Cities


Find out what we're looking for in future members of 100 Resilient Cities
Hi there,

There's one question that I've been hearing over and over again during our search for our next group of member cities:

What are you looking for in future members of the 100 Resilient Cities Network?

After traveling thousands of miles to cities around the world and attending 20 resilience workshops and three resilience-strategy planning sessions, our team has identified a few qualities that we want from future member cities -- and we're looking for applications that reflect those qualities.

Discover the four characteristics that our strongest 100 Resilient Cities partners share.
Learn more
Remember, the application period is open until September 10, so take a look at our list -- and help us pass it along -- today.

Good luck,

Michael Berkowitz
President, 100 Resilient Cities
Pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation
