(Utica, NY – April 2014) The American Heart Association is working to celebrate individuals who have made a positive impact on their health. Along with sponsor Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, the American Heart Association is now accepting nominations for the 2014 Go Red Power of You Award.
The Go Red Power of You Award honors someone who has made positive changes and significant steps towards living a healthier life.
“We all have the power to take charge of our own health by eating a healthy, balanced diet, staying active and avoiding known health risks like smoking,” said Eve Van de Wal, regional president for Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. “This award will recognize an individual who has used that power to live a healthier life.”
Nominations can be submitted by friends, co-workers or relatives. Individuals can also choose to nominate themselves. Finalists will be chosen by a panel of judges from the American Heart Association and Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. The winner will be recognized at the Go Red For Women Luncheon on May 7th, 2014 at Harts Hill Inn.
