Health @ Edelman

Once considered the business of patients, physicians, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals, health is now everyone’s business. This is a responsibility and an opportunity that applies to individuals, organizations and societies alike.

Health is beyond purely physical. It’s everything from self-care to prevention, diagnosis to treatment, caregiving to cure. It must be inclusive and representative.

We believe trust makes the difference at every touchpoint.

At Edelman Health, our goal is to help our clients confidently rise to the challenges of our changing world. We counsel our clients to embrace the new demands of a wider set of stakeholders — and to act boldly to earn and keep their trust.
