The Phelps Health Marketing and Public Relations Department earned eight Aster Awards in an international competition that recognizes excellence in healthcare advertising and marketing efforts.

“The recognition received by the Phelps Health Marketing Department is very well-deserved,” said Phelps Health Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Jason Shenefield. “The marketing team works extremely hard to communicate our programs, services, events, providers and more to the community, and this recognition speaks to their success. This past year, they led us through the rebranding of our new name and logo, which was a significant endeavor. Many of these awards were related to their work on the rebranding.”
Phelps Health President and Chief Executive Officer Ed Clayton agreed. “The Phelps Health Marketing Department is made up of talented and creative staff,” Clayton said. “Educating the public about healthcare is important, and they do a great job of spreading the word in the communities we serve.”
