The Air Force Center of Excellence for Medical Multimedia, or CEMM, recieved a Bronze Telly award for their Pregnancy A to Z and Wingman Online websites during the 35th Annual Telly Awards recently.

The Telly Awards was founded in 1979 and is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online commercials, video and films. Winners represent the best work of the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators, and corporate video departments in the world.

"With nearly 12,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries, this is truly an honor," said Lt. Col. Constance Smith, the CEMM director. "The CEMM looks forward to continuing to develop award-winning programs focused on patient education."

PregnancyAtoZ.org provides information about what a pregnant woman and her family can expect throughout her pregnancy and after the birth of her child. The program includes 3-D animations that help women understand the changes going on inside their bodies, and how their babies are growing. Included are sections on provider visits, genetic counseling, caring for the newest family member, and a special section for new dads. Real parents offer advice and insight as they share their experiences.

WingmanOnline.org provides videos that include interactive scenarios, public service announcements, and discussion starters as well helping resources and leadership tools aimed at protecting the mental health of our Airmen.
