If you’re looking for a “who’s who” of innovators in behavioral health, your first stop might be the nominees for Scattergood Foundation’s fifth-annual Innovation Awards.
The foundation has nominated five programs, largely from Greater Philadelphia (with two organizations from New England), but they’re depending on the public to decide who gets the award — and the $25,000 that accompanies it.
The public gets to choose the Innovation Award Winner and $25k prize! Vote today! #Innovation2017 https://t.co/Qie0W4L4cI
