For her work with Healthy Families America (HFA), Truman native Liz Heimer received the Dr. Judith Luebke Award for Public Health Educator of the Year.
The award is given by the Minnesota Society for Public Health Education to recognize a nominee’s demonstration of leadership, impact on the health of their community and innovation and commitment to public health. Any Minnesota health educator can be nominated for the award.
Heimer said she had always wanted to pursue a career in health, but didn’t initially know there was such a variety of opportunities.
Currently, she serves as HFA’s Program Manager for the South Central Minnesota Area.
