It’s awards season in the Commonwealth; a time for us to pause to recognize those extraordinary policy makers and volunteers whose dedication makes it possible for us to continue to fight heart disease and stroke in Kentucky.
We were pleased to present Senate President Pro Tempore Katie Stine of Southgate and Representative Addia Wuchner of Burlington each with the “You’re the Cure Legislator of the Year” award for their policy work in fighting childhood obesity.
We were also delighted to present Dr. Creighton Wright with the 2009 Great Rivers Affiliated Distinguished Service Award. Dr. Wright is a longtime volunteer-advocate who has helped time and time again to move public health policy in both Kentucky and Ohio. Whether at the local level on smoke-free air, at the state level on tobacco prevention efforts or the federal level on funding for heart disease and stroke research and healthcare reform, Creighton has always been an outstanding advocate.
Linda Ball, a longtime volunteer and Lexington board member, received the 2009 Kentucky You’re the Cure Volunteer of the Year award. Linda, a heart disease survivor herself, has been a strong proponent for cardiovascular research funding. Over the last couple of years, she has shared her story with lawmakers in both Frankfort and in Washington, D.C.
Thank you, Linda and Creighton, for your continued commitment to helping advance the mission of the American Heart Association!
You’re the Cure “Legislators of the Year,”
Senator Katie Stine and
Representative Addia Wuchner.
