Plumtree Baby’s Becoming a New Dad Guide Wins Gold at Spring 2026 Digital Health Awards

Jun 5, 2026

Plumtree Baby has earned a Gold Award in the Digital Health Media / Publications – Booklet/Brochure category at the Spring 2026 Digital Health Awards®, presented by the Health Information Resource Center (HIRC). The recognition was given to our Becoming a New Dad Quick Reference Guide, a compact brochure created to deliver clear, at-a-glance support for expectant fathers.

This marks Plumtree Baby’s second Gold Award from the Digital Health Awards, following the Fall 2025 recognition for our Lamaze Parent Guidebook.

“We are thrilled to receive our second Gold Award. The Becoming a New Dad Quick Reference Guide has quickly become a customer favorite," said Julie Olson, founder and president of Plumtree Baby. “New fathers deserve clear, helpful information that can boost their confidence and help their new family thrive. We’re proud that the judges recognized its quality and usefulness.”

This quick reference guide was created to deliver practical guidance to expectant fathers on bonding, infant care, mental health, and supporting their partner. The compact size is a format that works well for parents and is cost-effective for programs. It is ideal for perinatal educators, healthcare providers, hospitals, WIC programs, resource centers, home health agencies, and other community-based organizations. The guide can be used as a standalone handout or alongside longer educational materials and is available for individual purchase or bulk quantities. Like all Plumtree Baby resources, it can also be custom-branded with your organization’s logo, colors, and messaging.
