Krames StayWell Wins 2010 Calendar Design Contest Sponsored By Society for Healthcare Strategy & Market Development
Evanston, IL, November 2, 2009 — Custom health communications company Krames StayWell (KSW), a division of MediMedia USA, has been honored by the Society for Healthcare Strategy & Market Development (SHSMD) as the winner of its 2010 calendar design contest. KSW's distinctive calendar design was chosen by SHSMD members to be used for the 2010 Calendar of Health Observances & Recognition Days.
The 2010 calendar is designed to help health care marketing professionals plan for the many important health-related days, weeks, and months throughout the coming year. It features dates and descriptions of more than 250 health observances.
"Providing world class design to our clients is something we take great pride in so we're very pleased that our design talent has been recognized by the members of this important organization," said Krames StayWell president and CEO Trent Sterling.
A vibrant photograph kicks off each calendar month and sets the color theme for the accompanying health observances listing—54 pages in all. Krames StayWell was able to utilize photos from its expansive library of more than 100,000 images.
The Society for Healthcare Strategy & Market Development is the premier organization for healthcare professionals responsible for strategy development and implementation in a wide array of healthcare organizations.
"The 2010 calendar is just one example of SHSMD’s continuing commitment to providing members with a practical, timely resource and we congratulate Krames StayWell on submitting the winning design for this prestigious project," said Society for Healthcare Strategy & Market Development's Marketing Communications Specialist Emily McCracken.
