Generations Family Health Center Earns Seven National HRSA Quality Awards, Including Highest Honor for Clinical Excellence

Willimantic, CT, August 6, 2026 — Generations Family Health Center is proud to announce it has been recognized by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) with seven Community Health Quality Recognition (CHQR) and Compliance Badges for its outstanding commitment to providing high-quality, patient-centered care.

Leading the honors is the Gold Health Center Quality Leader Badge, HRSA’s highest quality recognition, awarded to health centers ranking among the top 10 percent nationwide for overall clinical quality performance. Generations Family Health Center was one of only two health centers in Connecticut to receive this prestigious recognition and earned the highest number of HRSA quality badges of any health center in the state.

In addition to the Gold Health Center Quality Leader Badge, Generations received individual National Quality awards in the following categories: Behavioral Health, Diabetes Health, Heart  Health, Preventive Health, High Risk Value Care and Health Information Technology for Quality.

These national recognitions reflect Generations’ excellence in delivering evidence-based, comprehensive care that improves patient outcomes through preventive care, chronic disease management, behavioral health integration, and the effective use of health information technology.

“This recognition is a direct reflection of the dedication, compassion, and hard work of every member of our organization,” said Danielle Digieronimo, Chief Operating Officer of Generations Family Health Center. “Whether they are providing direct patient care, welcoming patients at our front desks, answering the phones, scheduling appointments, conducting community outreach, connect patients with community resources and support services, coordinating care, maintaining our facilities and technology, providing essential administrative and operational support behind the scenes, or serving on our Board of Directors, their commitment to our mission made this achievement possible.”

Melissa Meyers, Chief Executive Officer of Generations Family Health Center, said “The mission of Generations Family Health Center, Inc. aims higher than just providing access to care, it specifically states we strive to achieve access to QUALITY care. Being recognized by the federal government for the high level of care we provide at Generations is acknowledgement of what we at Generations already know, in terms of having high standards for the care we provide, and it just validates the hard work our employees put in each day to care for our patients. We are all very excited to receive this recognition!”

The announcement comes during National Health Center Week, an annual celebration recognizing the vital role community health centers play in improving the health of millions of Americans. HRSA-funded health centers now serve more than 32 million patients nationwide, providing comprehensive primary care regardless of a person’s ability to pay.

Dunn Marketing’s Brand Refresh for The Prue Law Group Earns 2026 Communicator Award of Distinction

Agency also recognized with two additional 2026 Communicator Awards alongside client WHZ Strategic Wealth Advisors, for three total honors this year

KILLINGLY, CT (July 9, 2026) — Dunn Marketing has been honored with a 2026 Communicator Award of Distinction in the Campaign – Brand Redesign or Refresh category for its work with The Prue Law Group, P.C. Dunn Marketing’s work for the Windham County law firm helped to reposition it from a respected regional practice into a modern, full-service firm with expanded reach across eastern and central Connecticut. The honor is one of three Communicator Awards earned this year by Dunn Marketing and its clients.

The Communicator Awards is one of the largest and most competitive recognition programs honoring excellence, effectiveness, and innovation in marketing and communications. The 32nd Annual Communicator Awards drew more than 3,000 entries from ad agencies, in-house creative teams, design firms, and public relations professionals around the world, with winners selected by The Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts (AIVA), an invitation-only body of more than 1,100 industry leaders from organizations including JPMorgan Chase & Co., FedEx, Netflix, National Geographic Society, and others.

A Brand Built to Grow With Its Region

Dunn Marketing partnered with The Prue Law Group beginning in late 2024, when the more than 45-year-old firm was preparing for a new chapter: growing the estate and business law arms of its practice and expanding its presence beyond its core base in Windham County into the surrounding region, all while protecting the trusted, person-centered reputation it had built since 1980.

The resulting work included a refreshed logo and visual identity, a new brand color palette and voice, a rebuilt website, updated social media presence, refreshed print and digital advertising, and a brand video, along with the strategic research, audience personas, and content planning needed to guide it all. The rollout launched in April 2025.

“The Prue Law Group has spent more than four decades earning their clients’ trust, and our job was to make sure that trust came through in every new brand interaction, even as we positioned the firm for growth in new markets,” said Laura Dunn, CEO and Chief Brand Strategist at Dunn Marketing. “Seeing that work recognized by the Communicator Awards is meaningful, but what we’re really proud of is what it did for our client and the families and business owners they serve,” Dunn said.

In the first full year following the rebrand, The Prue Law Group saw a 13 percent increase in new case files compared to the prior year, including a 93 percent increase in business law cases and a 13 percent increase in estate law cases. The firm also saw an approximate 22 percent increase in revenue, a 57 percent increase in digital ad clicks, and more than double the social media engagement, year over year.

“This recognition validates exactly what we set out to do with Dunn Marketing, and that is to build a brand that reflects more than four decades of history while opening the door for the next generation of clients,” said Attorney Patrick Prue, founder of The Prue Law Group. “We’re very proud of what this brand represents and grateful to the Dunn Marketing team for helping us tell our story in a way that resonates with both the families who have trusted us for decades and the ones who are just getting to know us.”

A Strong Showing Across the Agency’s Client Roster

The Prue Law Group honor comes alongside two additional 2026 Communicator Awards of Distinction earned by Dunn Marketing in partnership with client WHZ Strategic Wealth Advisors: one in the Advertising Campaigns – Financial Services category for WHZ’s television campaign, “Absolute Confidence. Unwavering Partnership. For Life.,” and a second in the Publications – White Paper category for the consumer guide Smart Strategies to Maximize Generational Wealth. WHZ and Dunn Marketing announced those honors separately.

“Three wins across two very different client partners, in three different categories, speaks to the range of work our team takes on every day,” Dunn said. “Whether it’s a law firm building a modern, regional identity or a wealth management firm connecting with clients on some of the most personal decisions they’ll make, our approach is the same: start with empathy and build a brand people trust.”
