On behalf of QPTV, the Board of Directors, Chairman, and President, we are proud to announce that Queens Public Television has been selected to receive a first (1st) place award in the Issues and Political Process category in the Professional Division of the ACM-NE Video Festival for the program:
Queens Public Television Presents: Queens Vote 2008

Queens Public Television has also been selected to receive a third (3rd) place award in the Community Impact category in the Professional Division for the program:
Queens Public Television Presents An Original Series
The Circle of Life: Excellence in Queens Health Care-Life Begins

Both of these programs were produced by QPTV’s Production Unit and Daniel J. Leone, Executive Director. The Circle of Life was developed by Dr. Sandra Delson, Chair of Queens Public Television’s Program Committee. Ms. Delson saw a real need for programs featuring health care in Queens. She wanted to get the message across that Queens County has excellent hospitals and health care facilities. Dr. Delson sought to dispel the myth that if you wanted the best health care you had to go to Manhattan. Thus the title for the series “Excellence in Queens Health Care.” Her idea of documenting the various types of healthcare available from birth to old age prompted QPTV Program Committee, Nayibe Berger, John B. Haney, Joan Serrano-Laufer, and Alfred Harris, to support the endeavor through Queens Public Television’s Grant-Aid Program. There were many meetings to develop the concept. Gail Sherwood, a QPTV advisor, added the subtitle, “The Circle of Life.” These awards were presented at the 12th Annual Alliance for Community Media Video Festival Awards Ceremony held on November 7, 2009 in West Hartford, Connecticut.
