Eli Lilly and Company Opens Nominations for 9th Annual
Reintegration Awards
Reintegration Awards Recognize Professional and Individual Achievements in
Mental Health Community
INDIANAPOLIS, May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eli Lilly and Company announced
today a call for entries for its prestigious Reintegration Awards. The annual
awards honor individuals and groups who support people living with severe
mental illness; the achievements of people living with severe mental illness
who offer hope to others facing similar challenges; and local and national
efforts to improve services and decrease the stigma of mental illness.
"The Reintegration Awards are all about acknowledging the role that people with
mental illness and their providers play in helping themselves and others
realize their own potential," said John Lechleiter, M.D., Executive VP of
Pharmaceutical Operations, Eli Lilly and Company. "These awards are one of the
ways Lilly celebrates the phenomenal achievements that have been occurring in
the areas of reintegration and recovery."
The awards chairperson, Ralph Aquila, M.D., added that the Reintegration Awards
are especially important in that they highlight the need for complementary
recovery-oriented approaches, including efforts to help individuals find and
keep jobs, have comfortable places to call home and sustain meaningful
relationships with friends and family.
"The Reintegration Awards are inspiring not only for the winners, but for the
mental health community as a whole," continued Aquila, who primarily serves as
director of residential community services at St. Luke's/Roosevelt Hospital
Center in New York in addition to chairing the awards. "They help us see the
many diverse ways people with a mental illness are succeeding at moving their
own and other people's lives forward."
The public is invited to nominate individuals, caregivers, advocates, social
workers, policy makers, nurses, clinicians and treatment groups and programs
for consideration for the Reintegration Awards. The awards celebrate the
collaborative roles of individual involvement, treatment team support and
access to effective medication in helping patients attain the four goals of
successful reintegration: a comfortable place to live, a job, positive
relationships with friends and family and medical care provided by a
comprehensive treatment team.
