OMC honored for excellence in statewide marketing competitionOzarks Medical Center (OMC) has received statewide recognition for two projects produced by the health care system to educate and inform community and area residents.

The Show-Me Excellence Awards, presented annual-ly by the Missouri Association for Healthcare Public Relations and Marketing (MAHPRM), recognize high achievement and superb quality in advertising, market-ing and public relations projects produced by hospitals and health care systems throughout the state.

Melissa Smith, Media Relations Specialist at OMC Marketing and Public Relations Department, brought home a first place award in the category of Special Marketing or Public Relations Project for its 2017 OMC Dice Run of the Mills advertising campaign. The campaign included programs, score cards, sponsor brochures, ads, Facebook posts, and news releases. Second and third place in the category went to CoxHealth, Springfield and Southeast Health, Cape Girardeau, respectively.

Smith earned a third place award in the category of Special Purpose Publication for the 2017 OMC Blue Jean Ball invitation. First and second place in the category went to Saint Luke’s Health System, Kansas City, and BJC HealthCare, St. Louis.

This was Smith’s fifth and sixth Show-Me-Excellence awards. In 2017, she won second place for the 2016 OMC Superhe-ro Fun Run advertising campaign and the “Hey Girl! Keep Calm and Have a Mammogram” brochure. In 2016, she won first place for the 2015 OMC Blue Jean Ball advertising campaign and second place for the 2015 OMC Blue Jean Ball invitation.

The awards were presented at the MAHPRM Summer Forum in June at Lake of the Ozarks. A statewide panel of public relations and mar-keting professionals judged the 178 entries in this year’s competition.

“We’re honored that the work of Ozarks Medical Center has been selected to receive this statewide recognition,” said Tom Keller, OMC President and CEO. “These awards highlight our efforts to keep the community informed and up-to-date about the organization and our services.”

The awards competition was estab-lished by MAHPRM in 1981 and is the only Missouri competition dedicated to hospital and health care public relations and communica-tions. With 22 categories, the com-petition included projects in media relations, advertising, publications, writing, photography, marketing and public relations.

Jay Harris Receieves Pillar AwardJay Harris, Practice Man-ager for OMC Mountain Grove, OMC Gainesville, and OMC Pediatrics, received the Pillar Award for People. Criteria for the award required that the re-cipient make a significant contribution to OMC’s goal to be a “Best Place to Work.” The recipient should be inspirational to others and easily connect on a personal level. Relationships are important to them. They want patients and guests to perceive OMC as the very best place to receive care.

Jay’s nomination read, “Jay came to Mountain Grove in the middle of staffing changes and turnover when employees were not always happy with the changes. He worked hard to stay positive and prove himself. He keeps the patient needs first and reminds staff to show compassion to each patient we serve. He says if we are treating our patients like we would treat our own grandmother, they will return. Jay is very approachable and staff appreciate they can drop in to speak with him with problems or just to chat. He is easy to work with and has a great sense of humor!”
