"It is a great honor to be recognized among our peers for our work on a campaign as extensive as the My New Life campaign for our Center for Bariatric Surgery," said Wendy Hoke, director of marketing and communications at St. Vincent Charity Medical Center. "Certainly we could not have been as successful without the support of our creative partners on this campaign: Twist Creative and Authentic Films, as well as the gracious and wonderful participation of our program surgeons, staff and patients."

“It was an honor to have the number of health care organizations and agencies that participated in the 2011 Aster Awards Competition. The quality of this year’s entries went well beyond the judges’ expectations,” said Melinda R. Lucas, Aster Awards program coordinator.

The 2011 Aster Awards received approximately 3,000 entries from the United States, Canada and South America. All winners are posted at www.AsterAwards.com, as well as published in Marketing Healthcare Today, a national health care marketing magazine.
