Helsingin kaupunki jakoi Helsinki-p\u00e4iv\u00e4n\u00e4 12. kes\u00e4kuuta tunnustuksia ansioituneille tieteen, taiteen, kulttuurin ja urheilun tekij\u00f6ille sek\u00e4 henkil\u00f6ille, jotka ovat tehneet merkitt\u00e4v\u00e4\u00e4 ty\u00f6t\u00e4 Helsingin hyv\u00e4ksi. T\u00e4n\u00e4 vuonna Kultainen Helsinki -mitali my\u00f6nnettiin yhdeks\u00e4lle henkil\u00f6lle. Helsingin kaupungin mukaan mitali on kaupungin korkein tunnustus, ja sen my\u00f6nt\u00e4misperusteena ovat kaupungin hyv\u00e4ksi tehdyt ansiot.<\/p>

One of the recipients was Emma Tamankag, who has carried out long-term work to promote the health, wellbeing, participation and equality of Helsinki residents. HEED Finland ry, founded by Emma, provides free health counselling for people who have migrated to Finland, raises awareness of chronic diseases and trains healthcare professionals to meet clients from diverse backgrounds. The City states that her work promotes health, education and integration, and strengthens equality and wellbeing in Helsinki.<\/p>

For Moniheli, this recognition is especially joyful news. Emma Tamankag served as Chairperson of Moniheli\u2019s Board for five years and has been an active part of the Moniheli community for several years. Her work at HEED Finland reflects in many ways why associations founded by people who have migrated to Finland, as well as community-based work, play such an important role in Helsinki. When health, wellbeing and participation are promoted from people\u2019s own starting points, trust, accessibility and concrete change can emerge.<\/p>

Emma Tamankag is deeply honoured and proud of the recognition she has received. She described the medal as recognition of her long-term commitment to health promotion, chronic disease prevention, health equity and culturally sensitive community work. At the same time, she emphasised that the recognition is not hers alone, but reflects the power of community collaboration and the importance of ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to achieve better health and wellbeing.<\/p>

Moniheli yhtyy t\u00e4h\u00e4n ajatukseen. Emma Tamankagin saama Kultainen Helsinki -mitali on tunnustus my\u00f6s sille ty\u00f6lle, jota lukuisat j\u00e4rjest\u00f6t, vapaaehtoiset, ty\u00f6ntekij\u00e4t ja yhteis\u00f6t tekev\u00e4t p\u00e4ivitt\u00e4in yhdenvertaisemman Helsingin puolesta.<\/p>

Warm congratulations to Emma and the entire HEED Finland community on this significant recognition!<\/p>
