“While the effect of COVID-19 on adults was, indeed, traumatic, the pandemic only worsened the problem of mental health problems for children. The March 2022 issue of Contemporary Pediatrics featured a special section on the topic. A woeful lack of pediatric psychiatrists and psychologists in the workforce, desperately needed funding for public mental health services, and a look at how pediatricians are trained as mental health providers in medical school all came together to form a perfect storm when the pandemic hit. In 'normal' times, technology has worsened the mental health crisis for children. With COVID-19 providing even more stress, there's no question that pediatric health providers need this special section to better care for their patients. The article titled 'Screening adolescents for psychosocial concerns' by itself is a keeper.”

“This publication from Singapore consistently surpasses the norm in both design and content. The cover story to this Grand Award winning first quarter 2022 issue is titled 'Blazing Their Own Trail' and reports on those entering the healthcare profession amid a pandemic. Also in this issue are articles on the stress of working from home, the future of healthcare as that was the focus of the 2021 Singapore Health and Biomedical Congress and an inside look at how a major hospital battled back after becoming the country's first COVID-19 hospital cluster. All this, in addition to the regular features of diet and exercise hints and other regularly published departments make Lifewise both an informative and pleasurable, high-quality read.”

“The cover page of this Grand Award winning issue features a special report on COVID-19 vaccines, that shows how Behavioral Science can communicate risks and encourage vaccination uptake and, even more importantly, how a greater reliance on psychological experts could improve such public health efforts in the future. A powerful article -- only one of a number of insightful and informative reports in this issue. Probably the MOST relevant is the 10-page article entitled 'Misinformation: Controlling the Spread,' which offers an elegant explanation of the psychological mechanisms behind fake news, the insidious means by which it spreads, the fragility of mental health once it takes hold, and the paths forward in the current incendiary political climate. This is one article that everyone -- Republicans, Democrats and Independents -- needs to read. As if that weren't enough, another article in this same issue focuses on the taboo topic of pornography and outlines how psychologists are helping teens correct misconceptions developed in the minefield of distorted sexuality in online porn. Don't throw this issue away.”

“Companies and associations throughout the U.S. are learning how to deal with the emphasis on diversity. The issue featured in this entry from Trends Magazine includes 7 feature articles on the topic and deals with practical, historical and emotional issues in the veterinary profession including personal stories from one of the only Black veterinary oncologists, a transgender veterinarian, and a Black musician-turned-cat-advocate. The magazine deals with this highly sensitive topic in a professional and sensitive way, offering suggestions on what to do and, sometimes more importantly, what not to do to ensure the fair treatment of all employees.”

“Promoted as '… written by emergency physicians for emergency physicians,' this monthly newsmagazine had a huge obligation during the pandemic to provide valuable information to its audience, and they delivered. Not one article in the issue submitted for APEX 2022 failed to address some need for knowledge for emergency physicians. Articles like 'The Future of Work in Emergency Medicine'...'Scenes from Surfside--The medical leader of an urban rescue team at the Surfside condo collapse shares his experience' and 'The Fully Flexible ED' are just three pieces that made this issue a valuable source of advice to its readers. The editors truly fulfilled their goal as 'the official voice of emergency medicine'.”

With Lisa Pampillonia, Chad Hudnall
“This special issue of the American College of Radiology Bulletin addresses the mounting evidence suggesting that COVID-19 will be an endemic virus for the foreseeable future. That reality has caused prolonged delays in imaging along the cancer care comtinuum, particularly in underserved and underrepresented populations. The critical point raised in the article is that Radiologist can help rewrite the existing narrative on health disparities by focusing on just access to high-quality care and access to screening. The pages of this special issue walk radiologists through the process of working to understand the barriers faced by patients in the community they serve and take active steps to address barriers to care, including screening. It's a case of several small steps leading to a major change that is sorely needed.”

“Debuting in 2019, this is just a wonderful podcast that introduces children to the joy of cooking and enables them to participate in the preparation of family meals. Frequently listed in the top 150 parenting/kids podcasts in the U.S., the podcasts have often featured chefs, cookbook authors and spokespeople for the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is highly rated by most listeners and has contributed to a 200% increase in unique website visitors. The podcasts cover a wide range of topics, from picky eating and how to use a knife properly to how to make cooking simpler and more accessible for families. Season 3 included great episodes on food safety and holiday baking. It's just a great way to both teach cooking skills and have some great family time.”

“The difference in treatment among different ethnic segments has been an extremely sensitive topic in recent years. In fact, disparity in healthcare is now universally acknowledged as one of the most significant deficiencies of our current health system. This 10-video series should become the 'textbook' on how to address this issue. Written BY practicing physicians FOR practicing physicians, each video presents two real-world scenarios -- first an inappropriate interaction with explanations as to what went wrong, followed by that same encounter but free of implicit bias. This series needs to be utilized for training any medical schools, hospitals, residency programs and private practices so that the next generation of medical professionals will be able to adequately service all ethnicities. A good goal to shoot for.”

However, this transplant is a shining example of how medical advancement now allows what just a short time ago was unthinkable.

That technique also made this billboard stand out among all the competitive messaging. Great use of the space!”

“There is no topic more important to parents of babies and toddlers than their safety. This marketing campaign addresses those issues with flying colors. At the core is a product called the 'Owlet Smart Sock' that allows parents to track their child's heart rate, oxygen level and sleep trends up to five years of age. Their are then 'extensions' and 'bundles' which offer additional options and low-cost products for additional care. No parent should miss the opportunity this simple and straightforward campaign offers. This could truly provide a favorable result to a 'life or death' issue.”

“Most annual reports feature photos taken at in-person conferences and seminars to break-up the presentation of data. So what happens when a pandemic prevents most in-person events from occurring? Many associations faced exactly that challenge, and the APTA faced it head-on by creatively re-designing their 2021 Annual report. Section 1 addressed the circumstances by presenting a series of one-page essays on the challenges faced and the emergence of new priorities, all introduced with a striking full-page photograph. Section 2 featured a slightly different paper color and focused on the more traditional subjects of the associations initiatives to serve its members and the past fiscally year's results. Graphically appealing and extremely well written, this was an excellent example of how to creatively deal with a challenge.”

“This year, APEX debuted a brand new category -- 'Environment," which included the sub-category of 'Climate Change.' Our judges did NOT expect an organization titled 'American Bankers Association' to submit an entry in a category such as this, let alone win a Grand Award! However, there is no denying the impact climate change has on some businesses and industries. In fact, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has labeled climate change 'the biggest emerging threat to the health of the U.S. financial system'. This article takes the time to review the basics of climate change and then goes beyond to discuss its regional impacts, how to mitigate it and the risks of transition. It should be required reading, not only for those in corporations that need to evaluate its effect on their business, but also as an educational tool for the general public.”

The Home & Garden Showplace division features over 32 pages of springtime inspiration with vivid colors and photography. This is just a wonderful catalog to thumb through even to get ideas for less expensive renovations.”

“Maybe other municipalities prepare a thorough description of their visions for the future that includes a detailed Public Participation Plan allowing input and feedback from residents, property owners business owners and other stakeholders. If so, they may not present their findings in such a comprehensive and detailed fashion. This is not 'bedtime reading' by any means, but if you are a resident of this community and have any question at all about the future plans, you will find it. In today's political environment, this is a shining example of how local government SHOULD involve the community it serves.”

“During the pandemic, there was a huge need for stories of hope. This Grand Award winning entry delivered not only one, but three stories that would inspire even the most unemotional person. The point of the stories is to highlight everyday people thrust into extraordinary health crises so that the reader can identify with the struggles they face. The stories attached to this entry -- a COVID-19 infected woman forced to have an emergency C-section and the caring nurse who helped her through the ordeal, a woman who five failed pregnancies before getting the care that would allow her to give birth to two healthy children, and another mother stricken with a weakness so sever that she could not even hold her infant cured by physical therapy -- are truly inspiring stories that provide that much needed hope. Intense, but heartwarming.”

“The situation of COVID-19 and senior living facilities was one of the more troubling aspects of the pandemic. The editor of McKnight's Senior Living, therefore, had to meet challenges never before present in the industry. The three blog articles submitted for this entry proved that she was up to the challenge. 'Say It Loud, Say It Proud" came more than half a year after the vaccine first became available and at a time when the highly contagious delta variant was spreading. This blog article encouraged readers to celebrate those facilities where a high level of vaccination had been achieved and those employees who had taken this step to protect themselves and residents. 'Could a national vaccine mandate be coming to senior living?' addresses all the issues this question raises. Congratulations for creating these well-written and informative articles.”

“During the initial weeks of vaccine availability, it was extremely important to collect as much data as possible so as to learn about the demographics, side-effects and missed work time experienced by front-line healthcare workers in both urban and rural settings. The intent of this study, primarily, was to identify the most frequently experienced side effects from the two different vaccines based on age, gender, rage and occupation. Secondarily, the study sought to measure the total number of work shifts missed after receiving the vaccine. The results were extremely helpful to institutions that had not yet vaccinated a majority of their work force and for strategic scheduling of employees when booster doses would become available. Written in a medical journal, what sets this article apart is the easy-to-understand language used throughout so that even non-medical personnel can learn and benefit from the information presented.”

“More than ever before, 2021 caused, at worst, panic, and at best, concern for one's financial well-being. It became incumbent among financial planners to provide guidance to their clients and for all, particularly those approaching retirement age, to re-analyze their situations. This Financial Wellness series did just that. Through animated GIFs, emails and pdfs focused on savings, diversification, beneficiaries and overall wellness using 'My Financial Path,' valuable information was made available. A particularly innovative technique in this program was the separation of materials provided to those <50 versus those 50+. Email open rates vs. 2020 increased by over 30% in the <50 group and 38% in the 50+ group. As a result of this campaign, significant changes were made in many cases.”

“This is a collection of short essays and recollections brought to life by an award-winning illustrator. Regardless of one's feelings about the topic, the quality of writing is undeniable and the online version is truly striking. Starting with a scroll of ten names that will be unrecognizable to most people followed by a simple question 'Do You Know These Names', the story then recalls the name 'George Floyd' and is followed by personal stories and reflections from Oberlin alumni and faculty describing how racism has affected their lives. Interspersed with photos and illustrations that enhance the editorial, the emotion put forth in 'Black Voices' is reason enough for this entry to receive an Apex Grand Award.”

“This was one of the 'standout entries' in the Writing/Feature Writing category. From the first paragraph, the reader is curious and greatly anticipating the next development in the story. In this heartwarming tale, the main character, an associate professor of dance, chronicles the sometimes frustrating, but very rewarding task of using dance as dementia therapy and developing her program to such a degree that there was to be a case study published in a well-respected industry journal. Incredibly, her research centers on how music brings rhythm to the body that can, in turn bring about memories and unlock stories. Beautfully written, this judge felt the emotion and intensity of every sentence. This, no question, was a 'feature' story that needed to be told.”

“Here is yet another fantastic series from McKnight's Long-Term Care News covering the ongoing developments and actions take during the pandemic. In August, they wrote on the announcement that 'nursing homes must use workers vaccinated against COVID-19 or risk losing vital Medicare and Medicaid funding.' They followed that with a November article describing how 'Long-term care staff must be fully vaccinated ..." providing comprehensive details about the requirement. Incredibly well-written and informative, it's pieces like this that helped their audience get through tough times.”

“The author of the four columns presented in this entry is a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient ant a former CEO of the Girl Scouts of the ISA. Therefore, it is not a surprise that the subjects covered provide insights into a variety of social issues. The Winter 2021 article, entitled 'The Leadership Landscape in a Time of Uncertainty' dealt with a myriad of challenges brought on by the pandemic such as working in a totally unpredictable environment, funding and financial challenges and the lack of a personal connection just to name a few. The Fall 2021 article: 'The Ultimate Challenge of Life and Leadership" chronicles the authors return to the office after 16 months of working from home and her reflection on what leadership 'lessons' she learned throughout her career that help to grapple with the challenges of the day. Stimulating reading, thought-provoking, just wonderfully written columns all earned this Grand Award.”
