The College of Public Health is looking for nominations for the Iowa Public Health Heroes Award. Each year, the College recognizes up to four individuals who have worked to promote a healthier state through wellness and disease prevention initiatives and demonstrated the values of the College of Public Health, including community engagement, integrity, continuing learning, quality, responsibility and social justice.

We invite nominations of individuals from across all fields of public health and a range of career paths including service in local leadership, advocacy, business, as a newcomer to public health practice, or for career achievement. Nominations of individuals from traditional and non-traditional public health organizations are encouraged.

Nominations for this year’s awards are being accepted until Friday, Sept. 12.
