Sharecare, the digital health company that helps people manage all their health in one place, today announced 56 category finalists in the 2021 Sharecare Awards, which recognize best-in-class productions and programs that promote well-being and embody the spirit of “sharing care.” Now in its third year, the Sharecare Awards are held annually in association with the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, New York Chapter (NY NATAS), which is renowned for the annual Emmy Awards.
This year’s program celebrates digitally driven productions and programs across 14 categories that span important areas of health and wellness including chronic conditions, behavioral health, activism, and COVID-19 care and response. Finalists and winners in each category are selected by the esteemed Academy of Judges, a multidisciplinary group of leaders and experts in health and media programming. Each year, the program bestows the Sharing Care Award to the finalist that receives the most votes from the general public. Online voting for the 2021 Sharing Care Award is open to the public through June 30, 2021, and this year’s winner will be announced as part of a special virtual celebration this fall.
“This year’s finalists are an impressive line-up of health champions who represent a diverse range of skillsets, industries, and creative expression that boldly empowers us to pursue our happiest, healthiest lives,” said Donna Hill Howes, chief nursing officer and senior vice president of corporate partnerships at Sharecare. “We are incredibly proud to shine a light on these world-changing productions that promote the well-being of our communities, and we’re thrilled to invite the public to choose the next winner of our Sharing Care Award from these inspiring submissions.”
