The Sharecare Awards promote and reward excellence for the best productions and programming in health and wellness.

“We are  honored to receive this award,” said Chad Jester of Nationwide Foundation, “but there is so much work left to do. When we created the fictional town of Denial, OH, we hoped it would shift the mindset and change perception of parents who don’t believe their children would abuse opioids. While we weren’t thinking about winning awards, it is affirmation that our message is resonating.”

“In today’s health environment, the impact of creative content and programming that spark awareness and action is more evident than ever, and we’re proud that this year’s Sharecare Award winners represent the industry’s most impactful productions that are making a difference,” said Donna Hill Howes, chief nursing officer and senior vice president of corporate partnerships at Sharecare. “By elevating the contributions of this year’s winners, we hope to inspire others within the industry to effect positive change and outcomes by illuminating the most important health issues facing our world today.”
