Congratulations! Your city won an overall medal!

On Wednesday, November 13, CityHealth will release its policy ratings of the nation’s 40 largest cities. The ratings are determined by an evaluation of nine health-related policies that help residents and communities thrive.

We hope you will join us in highlighting how your city is leading the way to help your community thrive by posting about your city’s accomplishment on social media and by adding your city’s medal logo onto your website, newsletter, or social media!

Some ideas to help spread the word about your city’s new CityHealth medal:

Use our suggested text to send a newsletter to your constituents and colleagues that informs them of your city’s new medal status.
Post on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and/or Instagram to let your city’s residents know they live in a high-performing city.
Add your city’s medal badge to your website or annual report to show constituents that your city is proud to have policies in place that advance health and quality of life.
Release a press release or blog that summarizes CityHealth’s findings for your city, or mention the results at your next town hall meeting.

Please use this toolkit as a resource as you help us spread the word on or after November 13 at 12:01 a.m. ET.
