I have a heart for writing in the healthcare industry.

Hi, I’m Christie, a healthcare copywriter, editor and content marketer.  

Why is healthcare writing so special to me? Well, first, it isn’t just a job for me.

It’s a passion. A strong, sincere desire to make a difference. And it’s also very personal. 

College provided a great foundation for my writing career.

But my first real-world education as a writer for a major healthcare performance improvement company is what drew me to this industry. 

As I interviewed surgeons, directors of supply chain and C-suite executives, I learned of healthcare’s many deep and layered challenges — along with the rewards of excellent outcomes and healthy communities.

I quickly became intrigued with the industry’s unique combination of astute business practices, legislation, innovation and the art of care. I was hooked.  

My fibromyalgia diagnosis made healthcare personal, because it gifted me with the patient perspective. And it sealed my commitment to healthcare writing as a career. 

For years, I’ve seen physicians and nurses from waiting rooms to recovery units — all trying to provide high-quality care despite regulatory roadblocks, paper-pushing and patient overload.

I’ve felt the frustrations of access to care and insurance red tape. 

So I’m using these insights and my writing talents to help organizations like yours advance healthcare…one sentence at a time. 

A healthcare writer who speaks your language

You need high-quality content that boosts your brand and effectively communicates your value. 

But the demanding healthcare industry often leaves little time for you to develop great messaging. 

So how do you make time to strategically communicate what your brand has to offer?

That’s where I come in. 

With more than 20 years of specialized expertise, I deliver content that engages, educates and enlightens.

I write in your voice to reach your target market. 

Let’s talk!
