2022 HITMC Awards: Best Use of Social Media
May 11, 2022 – The Mothers in Medicine Fund, a part of the Zorya Foundation, was named a 2022 Medigy HITMC Award Winner in the Best Use of Social Media category.
Each year, the Healthcare and IT Marketing Community (HITMC) honors individuals, teams, and organizations for outstanding marketing and PR achievements over the past year. This year a record number of nominations were received by the judging panel.
The award for the Best use of Social Media - Non-profit is given to the Mothers in Medicine Fund for its innovative use of LinkedIn and Twitter to start a grassroots fundraising movement. Individual donations were the lifeblood of the Mothers in Medicine Fund’s first year, resulting in nearly 80 childcare grants for clinician mothers. The fund's success is proof of the value of personal brands and networks.
“The Mothers in Medicine Fund is a shining example of what the Medigy HITMC Awards are all about,” said Colin Hung, Community Manager for HITMC. “It shows that what creative and dedicated people can do when they lean into their work and passions. As we navigate these challenging times in healthcare, we need more of this resourcefulness and ingenuity to inspire others.”
“We’re grateful for this recognition from the HITMC community!” said Kat McDavitt, CEO and Founder of the Zorya Foundation. “What we’ve been able to accomplish in our first year is a testament to the power of social media.”
