Cossette Health will deliver on three pillars of service to the healthcare industry: an integrated communications practice within Cossette; an accelerator for innovation with client partners; and a startup incubator, building upon the offering of Cossette Lab.
"We are thrilled to announce the launch of Cossette Health," says Melanie Dunn, President and CEO, Cossette Canada. "The healthcare industry is ready for the digital expertise and innovative services our team offers—and it requires a truly unique service like Cossette Health to build persuasive communication helping healthcare organizations stay ahead of the curve and connect with their complex audiences in meaningful ways."
Cossette Health is led by Managing Director Dr. John Reeves, MD, with more than 20 years of experience in health-related digital marketing solutions and startups focused on patient activation.
