Randolph, Mass. – May Institute, a leading national provider of educational, rehabilitative, and behavioral healthcare services for individuals with special needs, recently earned four awards for excellence in communications from two prominent New England organizations.
The New England Society for Healthcare Communications (NESHCo) recognized May Institute’s communications and public relations team for its electronic newsletter, “May Institute eNews,” and its “CEO/COO/CFO Connect,” a monthly employee communication from the organization’s executive team.
