The PRWeek U.S. Healthcare + Pharma Communications Awards showcase and celebrate the best campaigns, projects, agencies, in-house teams and individuals across the fast-growing healthcare and pharmaceutical PR sectors.

Healthcare has long been an important part of the PR economy, spanning pharmaceuticals, hospital systems, public health, medical devices and care providers. This specialist area of communication has taken on an even more crucial role in the ecosystem over the past two years, especially during the COVID-19 crisis, which has caused huge challenges for everyone. Almost every story or narrative is now told through a healthcare lens and purpose marketing has put greater emphasis on organizations to hone their messaging.

PRWeek’s new awards program will honor the best practice that is spearheading one of the most dynamic, innovative and important areas of the PR industry and provide inspiration that everyone can learn from.
