Our experts have written and done marketing and PR for healthcare organizations across the nation. A partial list: Harvard Medical School, multiple surgical groups, the University of Pennsylvania Behavioral Health Division, Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the National Cancer Institute, Fluidigm and numerous technology companies that sell into this vertical.
