Clearly, it’s a winning formula.”

The agency also received an Award of Excellence in the Crisis Communications category for efforts with the Arkansas Health Care Association (AHCA) on COVID-19 crisis communications.
“We are honored to be named a finalist for the Silver Anvil Awards,” said Rachel Bunch, executive director of AHCA. “2020 was a challenging year for us all, but for the association, having MHP/Team SI on our side to communicate to our stakeholders such vital messages while simultaneously combating misinformation was key for our progression in battling COVID. We are so glad that the great work that we did received such a prestigious recognition.”
