January 5, 2023 – Sanford Fit, the children’s health initiative from Sanford Health, announced it was recognized in the Fall 2022 Digital Health Awards with two awards for its educational website and original content.
Sanford Fit was developed to empower children and families to make healthy lifestyle choices. The program is grounded on four pillars essential to building awareness of healthy lifestyle choices, guiding decision-making, and improving self-management skills. The program provides free, online, educational materials designed to captivate children’s attention, educate them about important health topics, and activate healthy behaviors.
The biannual Digital Health Awards recognizes the world’s best digital health resources for consumers and health professionals. For the fall competition, Sanford Fit took the top spot in the Web-based Digital Health: Website category with a Gold distinction.
The Health Information Resource Center, organizer of the Digital Health Awards, is a national information clearinghouse for professionals who work in consumer health fields. Other well-known HIRC programs include the annual National Health Information Awards, which annually recognizes the nation’s best consumer health information in non-digital formats.
