Here is my LinkedIn Year in Review from Co-Author. In 2024, I witnessed health care innovation come to life through the stories we helped tell. From groundbreaking sepsis diagnostics to the first-ever bone marrow transplant using cryopreserved donor marrow, it's been a privilege connecting medical breakthroughs with the journalists who bring these stories to light. This year reinforced what 40+ years in communications has taught me: when breakthrough medical innovations meet strategic storytelling, we can help change lives. Some notable developments we helped bring to public attention: • First successful bone marrow transplant using cryopreserved donor marrow (Ossium Health) • Novel rapid sepsis detection technology (Immunexpress) • Revolutionary esophageal cancer screening (Lucid Diagnostics) • Breakthrough COVID-19 protection for immunocompromised patients (Invivyd) Three stories that particularly resonated with audiences: "FDA Authorizes New COVID-19 Drug" Coverage in STAT News of vital protection for immunocompromised patients https://lnkd.in/eS2e9vtQ "NYT Coverage: New Protection for High-Risk Patients" Making complex treatments accessible to broad audiences https://lnkd.in/e2baJ_gu "First-Ever Bone Marrow Transplant Using Deceased Donor Tissue" FOX News coverage of a medical breakthrough opening new possibilities https://lnkd.in/eVZn7JXx To the journalists who helped tell these stories across NPR, ABC, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and beyond - your commitment to accurate, accessible health and science reporting makes innovation meaningful to those who need it most. Looking ahead: translating complex medical innovations into stories that drive understanding and access remains my focus in 2025. Every story toldhas the potential to change lives.
