Monmouth Medical Center's Patricia McNamee, Anna Burain, and Peggy Lomerson 2015 WINNER Monmouth Medical Center, Long Branch, New Jersey Every community is unique. This hospital has the country's fourth largest Chinese-speaking population, and many of the members of this community don't take full advantage of appropriate healthcare services, due to cultural and language barriers. They overcame this chall enge by translating their healthcare education materials and visited churches, schools, and community centers. Through workshops, health fairs, and other Spirit events, they educated Chinese-speaking women and their families about maintaining good health and disease prevention. The response from their Chinese-speaking community has been overwhelming, and their next step is to develop a program for the R ussian-speaking women in their community. 2015 FINALISTS (Clockwise from top left) Swedish Medical Center's Abby Bartolotta; Baptist Health System's Laura Gaver, Kym Dunton, Sung Balester and Cindy Hamilton; Riverview Medical Center's Tami Barber and Tracy Weiss; Parkview Medical Center's Leslie Siegel, Stacy Cristelli and Jeanette Micheli.
