The Wetzel Contiuum Award recognizes a volunteer or health professional who contributes to the health and well being of Georgia’s families by being a positive change agent in the public arena of advocacy and policy. This award is in memory of Carolyn Wetzel, a long-time HMHBGA member, friend, and dedicated public health advocate for mothers and babies."The Wetzel Award is meant for providers who go above and beyond to use their direct service abilities and experience to make larger-scale policy and program impact for Georgia's families," explained Elise Blasingame, executive director for HMHBGA.

"I cannot think of a more deserving individual for the 2019 Carolyn Wetzel Continuum Award than Elizabeth O'Brien," continued Blasingame. "She has worked in practice, serving families directly as they battle the difficulties of postpartum depression, anxiety and other perinatal mental health challenges. She then applied her expertise and energy to forming a diverse Board to lead Georgia in advancing public prioritization of these debilitating and prevalent disorders. Our state is becoming a safer and more supportive place for pregnant and postpartum women thanks to her advocacy."
