Media Excellence Award Winners Spread the Word About Endo

The Endometriosis Association 2001 Media Excellence Awards have been announced! The winners are:

Anne Kelly of Kitchener, ON, in the newspaper category for, "Silent Disease Robs Women of Normal Life," published in The Record.

Jordana Green of Minneapolis, MN in the broadcast news category for a three part series on endometriosis on WFTC Fox 29.

Robert L. Barbieri, M.D., of Boston, MA in the medical, trade and scientific category for "Evaluating Pelvic Pain Using Barbieri's Triad," published in OBG Management.

Viktoria Tougoussova of Moscow, Russia in the Internet and online category for her website http://endomrus.narod.ru.

Winners in each category received $1,000 and an award certificate. This year's competition was truly international, and there were entries from four countries; the U.S., Canada, Russia, and Israel.

The Endometriosis Association Media Excellence Awards were established to encourage factual, up-to-date and clear media stories about endo. It is our hope that by encouraging journalists to cover endometriosis, we will increase awareness, help women with the disease receive early diagnosis and treatment, and ultimately find a cure (and then publicize it!) This year's competition was made possible by an unrestricted educational grant from TAP Pharmaceutical Products.
