PRWeek's Health Influencer 30 celebrates the most prominent players influencing healthcare and pharma PR. It includes client-side communicators, healthcare executives at major PR firms and specialist health agency leaders.
Over the past 18 months, health has assumed an even more crucial role in the PR ecosystem, with most narratives communicated through a public health lens, whether that involves coronavirus infection, vaccines, travel, returning to physical work spaces or the resumption of leisure activities.
The Health Influencer 30 identifies movers and shakers in health PR and communication who shape the agenda around the battle against coronavirus, the race to distribute vaccines and booster shots and narrowing disparities in health outcomes by ethnicity.
It includes those working in pharma, hospitals, OTC drugs, insurance, public health, government, medical devices, care providers and mainstream and specialist PR firms that support them.
