Nominate a woman for Spirit of Women(r) Awards program

---

There still is time to nominate a woman you know who makes a difference in her community. Nominate her for the Spirit of Women(r) Awards program; Nominations are due by March 19. St. Cloud Hospital is accepting nominations for women who perform extraordinary acts of service in their communities. The awards celebrate women who take action to make our community healthier, safer and a more inspirational place to live.

Nominate your community's unsung hero(s) by submitting a nomination form that describes why this person is deserving of a Spirit of Women(r) award. Nominees will be recognized in each of the three following categories:

Young person role model (ages 14-20);

Community hero (at least 21 years of age);

Health care hero (clinical professional).

Winners are chosen based on the contribution they have made to the issues the community faces in the areas of work, family and health; and on the impact they have had in their community and on the lives of others. The regional winners also will be candidates for the National Spirit(r) of Women Awards. Last year, our local health care hero went on to become a national Spirit of Women(r) award winner.

To read about the 2009 winners and nominate a woman for 2010, visit <www.centracare.com>, and click on For Women, Spirit of Women and then Awards Program.. You also may submit a hard-copy nomination form to CentraCare Health Foundation located at 1406 Sixth Ave. N., St. Cloud, MN 56303.
