NEW YORK— (JUNE 14, 2023) — Clio Health announced the winners of the 2023 Grand Clio Health and Clio Health Of The Year awards at a live ceremony hosted by health and wellness consultant Joe Holder in New York City this evening. Each cycle, the program celebrates creative marketing, advertising and communications in the fields of physical, mental and social well-being.
“The work we’re celebrating this year really demonstrates the healing power of ideas,” said Emily Seal, Executive Director of Clio Health. “Our community is creating opportunities that will improve health outcomes for people all over the world and it’s so inspiring to spend an evening honoring their bold thinking and to see it come alive on the big screen.”
For their efforts to harness the power of music and culture to improve health in communities that are underserved, Hip Hop Public Health was honored with the 2023 Clio Health Impact Award. With this special recognition, Clio Health celebrates the organization’s impact on the community by leading the charge in advocating for health and wellness outcomes that result in meaningful social change. Co-founders, Dr. Olajide Williams and revolutionary hip hop artist Doug E. Fresh, accepted the award on behalf of the organization.
Earlier in the show, speaker, digital creator, author, and inclusivity advocate Molly Burke was recognized with the 2023 Honorary Clio Health Award. Burke, who went blind from Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease, has developed a platform that educates society, normalizes disability, and helps other disabled and chronically ill people feel less alone. Her captivating combination of humor, sass and sensitivity has been sought out by brands like Unilever, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Starbucks and P&G, who have enlisted Molly to elevate their brand affinity and create fun and engaging content featuring their products.
