Students awarded Agnes Penner Prize


Congratulations to Eleanna Antoniou, Mimi Russo and Rae Wohl who were awarded the Agnes Penner Prize!

The prize is awarded to the Applied Psychological Science project with the greatest potential to benefit society, as judged by a panel of community members. 

For the winning project, Best Practices Application for Improving Patient Outcomes for Project Access Lancaster County, Eleanna, Mimi and Rae partnered with Project Access Lancaster County (www.palcolancaster.org) a non-profit organization that coordinates donated health care services for uninsured Lancaster residents. They created patient journals to help patients become more actively involved in their own health care, as well as designed an updated survey and compiled a best-practices manual for tracking and evaluating patient health outcomes. The goals of their project are to improve patients’ health outcomes, patient satisfaction and comfort with medical care, and to reduce unnecessary ER visits.
