Hampton Regional Medical Center Wins Award for Second Consecutive Year: CHPRMS Recognizes Excellence in Health Care Marketing and Communications in the Carolinas

CHARLESTON | The Carolinas Healthcare Public Relations and Marketing Society honored more than 50 organizations across the Carolinas with awards for excellence during the society’s annual conference and awards banquet Thursday, Nov. 21, in Charleston.

The Wallie and Golden Tusk awards are presented annually to health systems, hospitals, non-profit health care organizations and other health care facilities for their outstanding marketing and communications efforts from purpose, concept and design to production, execution and results.

Participants compete in more than two dozen categories, including print, web design, video, publications and campaigns, podcasts and others. A panel of marketing communications professionals from around the country selects the winners.

The Golden Tusk award for Health and Wellness Promotion Campaign was given to Hampton Regional Medical Center for the second year in a row. The 2023 campaign featured local breast cancer survivors, Camille Welch, Shelley Stewart, Wanda Morgan and Sharon Gibson. Golden Tusk winners are determined by top scores and comments from the judges.
