3.) GOT A MINUTE? GETS THE GOLD

SBAA received the Gold World Wide Web Health Award for
its health care provider web initiative, Got a Minute?
The theme of the web initiative is that it only takes
a few seconds to help patients reduce their risk of
spina bifida by quickly mentioning folic acid during a
visit.

The World Wide Web Health Awards is organized by the
Health Information Resource Center, a national
clearinghouse for consumer health information programs
and materials. Last year, there were nearly 1,000
entries from hundreds of organizations.

The overall goal of Got a Minute? is to increase
provider awareness of the need to prescribe folic acid
for women at risk for spina bifida recurrence.
Encourage your health care professionals to visit Got
a Minute? at www.sbaa.org
