Columbus Community Hospital Wins Nine Marketing & Advertising Awards

Columbus Community Hospital recently received recognition from two of the  nation’s most prestigious healthcare advertising awards competitions. 

The hospital won seven gold certificates and one bronze certificate from the Aster Awards, and it  received a silver award at the 43rd Annual Healthcare Advertising Awards.  

“Our team is deeply committed to delivering exceptional care and connecting meaningfully with the  communities we serve,” said Mike Hansen, the hospital’s CEO and president. “These recognitions reflect  the thoughtful, creative and strategic work being done to communicate our mission and impact. I am  proud of our team’s dedication to excellence in both patient care and how we tell our story.” 

The Aster Awards recognizes healthcare organizations, agencies and marketing professionals whose  work exemplifies exceptional creativity, strategic thinking, innovation and measurable impact. A panel  of marketing and creative professionals judges entries against organizations of similar size and type.  

The Healthcare Advertising Awards is the largest and most well-recognized healthcare advertising awards competition. A national panel of judges reviews all submitted work and selects winners based on  creativity, quality, message effectiveness, consumer appeal, graphic design and overall impact. This  year, there were more than 4,300 entries in the competition. 

Amy Blaser, the hospital’s vice president for physician relations and business development, said she is  proud that CCH has been recognized to be among the leading healthcare organizations in the country. 

“These awards are a reflection of our commitment to serving our community with excellence — both in  the care we provide and how we engage and inform those we serve,” she said.
