Health care’s complicated. Its unique function, language, cost structure, set of legislated provisions and policies — and range of perspectives on dealing with them.

Consulting as a senior-level writer and strategist for a range of leading health care companies, I know the disparate conversations taking place across the industry. Recognizing where everyone is coming from helps me to craft precise messages for targeted audiences.

With a focus on health care communications, I can save you time on the little things — like knowing the grammatical difference between “Achilles' heel” and “Achilles tendon” — and on the big things — like knowing the practical difference between evidence-based medicine and medicine that isn’t based on evidence, and why it matters so much.

With a firm understanding of how health care works today — and sometimes doesn’t work today — I enjoy helping people make more informed choices about their health and how to improve care for everyone.

While navigating health care will probably always be complex, you can make communications about it pretty straightforward. To find out how, please contact me at 508 769 8134 or mary.barlow@verizon.net.
