Maryland’s Dept. of Health is looking for a firm to design a logo and conduct a digital media campaign for its Diabetes Action Plan to reduce the prevalence of the disease in the Old Line State.
An estimated 2.1M Marylanders have diabetes and pre-diabetes. Ninety percent of people with pre-diabetes do not know they have it.
Healthcare costs for diabetes patients are two to three times higher than those without the disease.
When not managed, diabetes may lead to loss of a limb, blindness and cardiovascular disease.
The Dept. looks to generate awareness of programs designed to manage diabetes. It wants to encourage behavior changes such as adopting a healthy lifestyle, taking an online screening test for type 2 diabetes and talking to a doctor about the disease.
The Dept. plans to spend $50K for the diabetes outreach campaign, which begins Feb. 15 and runs through June.
Proposals are due Feb. 4. They go to:
Robert Bruce
Chief Operations Officer
Prevention and Health Promotion Administration
201 W. Preston Street, Room 320B
Baltimore, MD 21201
