Freelance Health Writer

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.
