      About us

      CommunicateHealth is a growing health communication firm with a passion for health literacy and inclusive design. Our mission is simple: to advance health equity by designing health information that’s easy to access, understand, and use. By creating health communications that are clear, accessible, and inclusive, we give people what they need to make informed decisions about their health — and ultimately help advance health equity. Together, our mission-driven team designs inspiring solutions that transform the way people think about health.

      Although we don’t currently have specific opportunities to offer, we are looking to expand our network of freelance writers and editors because we are anticipating needing freelance support this year.

      About you

      You’re an experienced freelance writer or editor with a background in health communication or public health. You excel at translating complicated health information into content that’s clear and actionable — and that follows health literacy and plain language best practices. You’re interested in being part of CommunicateHealth’s small network of independent contractors who occasionally take on writing or editing tasks to support our government, non-profit, and private clients.

      If this sounds like you, please provide the following:

      • Digital (like web or social media) or print (like patient education materials) assets
      • Government, foundation, professional organization, non-profit, or health-related business clients
