How and when does Health Union recognize judges?
Health Union is deeply appreciative of our industry judges and the commitment that they have made to our patient award nominees.

We respect your decision to remain anonymous and appreciate your support in judging. When you signed up as a judge, there was a check box option to remain anonymous. If you can’t recall what you selected, or wish to change your selection, please reach out to lina.le@health-union.com.
Can I share my participation as a Social Health Awards Judge?
Sharing your involvement in the program publicly is completely optional, but highly encouraged! Once you’ve completed and returned your scorecard, you will receive a shareable graphic to utilize should you want to post about your participation on LinkedIn.
As a judge, how do I find out each category’s winners?
The Social Health Award winners will be announced during Health Union’s Social Health Connexion conference, a virtual event for patients only. As a valued judge, you will receive a special notification immediately following the announcement to let you know who the winners are.
What if all the finalists have a different number of social media links/profiles?
Due to the variety of platforms, condition areas, and journeys, it’s important to remember we aren’t comparing apples to apples. You should not be comparing the number of followers or any other statistic. Instead, we ask that you focus on the content.
What do I do if a finalist’s social media profiles are down?
Reviewing a finalist’s online presence is key to completing judging. Please alert us if you have difficulties viewing profiles.
