OTTAWA, Ill. — Marketing professionals from OSF Saint Elizabeth Medical Center recently accepted an award from the Illinois Society for Healthcare Marketing and Public Relations (ISHMPR) at its annual conference held in Chicago earlier this month.

The yearly competition among state-wide hospitals, health care systems and ad agencies resulted in an “Award of Merit” for the Ottawa hospital. ISHMPR created the Pinnacle Awards Program to recognize its members for the challenging, creative work they do on a daily basis and to recognize excellence in clear and effective marketing and public relations communication.
