Save the Children’s The Real Awards

For one month, Save the Children would love for us to write posts about health workers that have made a difference in our lives and then ask our readers to nominate phenomenal health workers for a Real Award. We can write about nurses, doctors, hospice workers, midwives, physician assistants, community health workers, pharmacists, public health officers and nurse practitioners that have helped us.

Be sure to ask your readers to nominate a health worker they admire at www.theREALawards.com.
