in place that has strong ideas about issues including women&rsquo;s rights, drug pricing, regulation, reversing Biden administration policies, market competition and choice.</p><p>The Trump administration is not as focused on repealing the Affordable Care Act (&ldquo;Obamacare&rdquo;) as it was in his first term in office, but he is certainly attempting to put some unconventional candidates into senior positions in the U.S. Department of Health &amp; Human Services. Most notable of these is Trump&rsquo;s controversial pick for health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&nbsp;</p><p>Separately, the health insurance sector is still reeling from the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot on a Manhattan street last December. The sector generally didn&rsquo;t attend the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference this January.</p><p>Healthcare is still one of the most important sectors of the PR industry and the rapid rise of AI is transforming some of the mundane aspects of the work and allowing communicators to double down on strategic thinking and creative outcomes.</p><p>Amid all this uncertainty, in-house and agency-side healthcare and pharma communicators continue to produce effective and creative work, and the brands, teams and individuals at the forefront are represented in this year&rsquo;s winning activations.</p><p>Special thanks go out to our excellent judges and our chair of jury, Regeneron&rsquo;s SVP of corporate affairs Christina Chan, who helped oversee and underpin the rigor of the process and the credibility of the winners.</p><p><em>- Steve Barrett, editorial director, PRWeek</em></p><hr><!-- start of category --><div class="section group"><div class="col span_1_of_2"><h2><a name="Content" class="offset"></a>Best Content</h2><h3>Winner</h3><h3>Genentech and Syneos Health</h3><p>Musical Puts Ableism in the Spotlight</p><p>Roughly one-quarter of Americans live with a disability, but you&rsquo;d never know that looking at television shows and movies. Only 4% of characters have a disability and 95% of the time they are played by non-disabled actors.</p><p>Many members of the spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) community have voiced frustration with the lack of portrayals and with the tone of the few that do exist. Too often they could be described as &ldquo;inspiration porn&rdquo; with predictably uplifting storylines.&nbsp;</p><p>Genentech, which views its commitment to the SMA community as going beyond creating a treatment for the neuromuscular disease, saw an opportunity. Working with its agency partner Syneos Health, the company sought to elevate the voices of the SMA community on the national stage with a musical titled <em>Most Likely Not To&hellip;</em> that would grab the attention of families grappling with SMA and other disabilities as well as people who unknowingly contribute to ableism.</p><p>The musical&rsquo;s plot is centered on a disabled character attending her 20-year high-school reunion, and its biting satire and sharp wit were embraced by the audience at its premiere in New York. Streaming services have allowed thousands to hear the cast recording while Genentech&rsquo;s SMA treatment website saw a 60% increase in traffic.</p><h3>Honorable mention</h3><p><strong>Incyte, Real Chemistry and Starpower</strong><br>The Unseen Journey</p></div><div class="col span_2_of_2 sidebar"><img src="https://cached.offlinehbpl.hbpl.co.uk/galleries/ORP/HCA25-Content.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><h2>FINALISTS</h2><p><strong>American Cancer Society and Real Chemistry </strong>The Hopefall: A One-of-a-Kind Visualization of a Life-Changing Sound</p><p><strong>AstraZeneca and Edelman </strong>What Science Can Do</p><p><strong>Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services and Weber Shandwick </strong>Real People.

Pollen seasons are increasing in length and they are often combined with other irritants from industrial pollution to climate-related conditions such as wildfires.&nbsp;</p><p>While Allegra offers relief to users, the brand decided to also pursue its mission of making breathing easier for everyone with a purpose-built app. The goal was not only to treat allergy symptoms but change lives by addressing the external factors that cause them (and, at the same time, raise brand awareness).</p><p>The app would provide relief for allergy sufferers by putting actionable data in their hands &mdash; real-time routes that would allow them to be outdoors while still breathing better in areas with lower pollen counts and less pollution. Launched nationwide in March 2024, the app tracks 12 types of pollen and six types of air pollutants in real time, with an accuracy of five meters. The app also offered geo-targeted coupons based on live pollen counts: the higher the pollen level, the bigger the discounts on Allegra.</p><p>The innovation and the campaign promoting it moved Allegra from third to second in category share of voice and the brand saw a 50% increase in purchase intent with 38% of people saying they&rsquo;d switch to Allegra.</p><h3>Honorable mention</h3><p><strong>Incyte, Real Chemistry and Starpower</strong><br>The Unseen Journey</p></div><div class="col span_2_of_2 sidebar"><img src="https://cached.offlinehbpl.hbpl.co.uk/galleries/ORP/HCA25-Tech.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><h2>FINALISTS</h2><p><strong>American Cancer Society and Real Chemistry </strong>The Hopefall: A One-of-a-Kind Visualization of a Life-Changing Sound</p><p><strong>Currax Pharmaceuticals, Real Chemistry and Swoop </strong>Small But Mighty &mdash; Optimizing Omnichannel Precision and Impact with AI/ML</p><p><strong>Incyte, Real Chemistry and Starpower </strong>The Unseen Journey</p><p><strong>Opella Healthcare and Edelman </strong>Allegra Airways</p></div></div><hr><!-- end of category --><p><!-- start of category --><div class="section group"><div class="col span_1_of_2"><h2><a name="Corporate" class="offset"></a>Best in Corporate</h2><h3>Winner</h3><h3>AstraZeneca and Edelman</h3><p>AstraZeneca's What Science Can Do</p><p>Over the past year, Edelman has found, through its Trust Barometer Study, that trust in healthcare companies has declined globally. This trend is especially noticeable in the U.S. and it needs to be addressed for companies to be able to move the reputational needle.</p><p>Before developing a new corporate campaign, AstraZeneca studied its reputation among patients, HCPs, policymakers and investors. While many had generally positive feelings about AstraZeneca, the corporate story was not doing as much as it could to drive trust and improve the company&rsquo;s reputation. There was tremendous potential if more people knew about the company&rsquo;s stories and programs.</p><p>Rather than create a typical pharmaceutical ad, Edelman and AstraZeneca decided to tell two stories. The first focuses on Nico, a student with asthma who can now run thanks to scientific innovation. The second tells the story of Chloe, a cancer survivor who gets a tattoo in commemoration of her cancer journey. The campaign&rsquo;s digital-first approach included a new landing page and social content to showcase the stories along with additional content.</p><p>During the first two weeks of the campaign, the Science and Innovation pages on AstraZeneca&rsquo;s website had almost 41,000 site visits, more than three times the usual daily average visits.</p><h3>Honorable mention</h3><p><strong>Personify Health</strong><br>Personify Health: Because Health is Personal</p></div><div class="col span_2_of_2 sidebar"><img src="https://cached.offlinehbpl.hbpl.co.uk/galleries/ORP/HCA25-Corporate.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><h2>FINALISTS</h2><p><strong>AstraZeneca and Edelman </strong>What Science Can Do</p><p><strong>Personify Health </strong>Because Health Is Personal</p><p><strong>Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Syneos Health and CMI Media Group </strong>Meant for More: Realizing Our Potential</p></div></div><hr><!-- end of category --><p><!-- start of category --><div class="section group"><div class="col span_1_of_2"><h2><a name="Employee" class="offset"></a>Best in Employee Engagement</h2><h3>Winner</h3><h3>Novartis</h3><p>What's My Why</p><p>When internal surveys at Novartis indicated that only 61% of employees were satisfied with employee engagement events, it was clear there was room for improvement. The company recognized the need for a transformative approach and decided to completely reimagine events and the ways that the company engages with employees during the course of the year.</p><p>The central pillar of the new approach has been the What&rsquo;s My Why campaign, which allowed associates to share their purpose and connection to healthcare. When associates arrived at employee events, What&rsquo;s My Why videos were played on a loop, with images and text from their colleagues on screens. Employees connected with each other and cheered for their coworkers.&nbsp;</p><p>The initiative was created in-house, allowing a small budget to be used efficiently. For the video, the concept, video treatment, video shooting and directing and the post-editing were all done by three associates. While Novartis contracted filming equipment and camera/editing help, the in-house team was responsible for the creative direction and other decisions.</p><p>After What&rsquo;s My Way, 86% of employees said the topics discussed during the global event were relevant, up from 61%; 85% agreed that the event helped them better understand the company&rsquo;s strategy and priorities, up from 55%; and overall satisfaction jumped from 61% to 91%.</p><h3>Honorable mention</h3><p><strong>Nebraska Medicine and Unlock Health</strong><br>Employer Value Proposition Campaign &mdash; Together.

Wade and the constitutional right to abortion, a new era of attacks on women&rsquo;s reproductive freedoms began. Thirteen states adopted full abortion bans while others significantly restricted the procedure.&nbsp;</p><p>States also turned to digital footprints in order to police women&rsquo;s choices. Everything from period tracker data to search histories have been used against women searching for reproductive health information. Many women also need to safeguard their digital privacy from abusive partners and to avoid targeting by anti-choice groups that share medical misinformation designed to block a woman&rsquo;s right to choose.</p><p>MSI Reproductive Choices, working with Weber Shandwick, responded by launching the Vagina Privacy Network (available at VaginaPrivacyNetwork.org) that includes access to a free &mdash; and more secure &mdash; web browser. Other aspects of the protocol include using encrypted messaging, avoiding traceable payment methods such as credit cards and disabling location tracking in newer models of cars and through ridesharing services.</p><p>The campaign was covered in <em>USA Today,</em> Pop Sugar and other national outlets. Owned social posts had a 3.84% engagement rate, and the campaign video had a 3% click-through rate. Most importantly, thousands of women have accessed healthcare information via the Vagina Privacy Network.</p><h3>Honorable mention</h3><p><strong>Novartis Pharmaceutical Corporation and Biosector 2</strong><br>More Than Just Words</p></div><div class="col span_2_of_2 sidebar"><img src="https://cached.offlinehbpl.hbpl.co.uk/galleries/ORP/HCA25-Equity.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><h2>FINALISTS</h2><p><strong>Exact Sciences and Burson </strong>Box Out Colon Cancer</p><p><strong>MSI Reproductive Choices and Weber Shandwick </strong>Vagina Privacy Network</p><p><strong>Novartis Pharmaceutical Corporation and Biosector 2 </strong>More Than Just Words&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Tigerlily Foundation and Real Chemistry </strong>My Living Legacy Campaign (supported by GSK)</p></div></div><hr><!-- end of category --><p><!-- start of category --><div class="section group"><div class="col span_1_of_2"><h2><a name="Services" class="offset"></a>Best in Hospital or Healthcare Services</h2><h3>Winner</h3><h3>American Cancer Society and Real Chemistry</h3><p>The Hopefall: A One-of-a-Kind Visualization of a Life-Changing Sound</p><p>The American Cancer Society (ACS) runs more than 30 Hope Lodge communities across the country, which provide people with cancer a free place to stay during treatment so they can focus on getting better. When the organization wanted to raise awareness of the Hope Lodge communities and share powerfully encouraging messages with cancer patients and their loved ones during the holidays, it turned to a Hope Lodge tradition.</p><p>The Hope Bell is rung to mark the end of treatment of guests staying at Hope Lodges. It&rsquo;s a celebratory moment that marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next. Patients, staff, family and friends cheer as the bell rings &mdash; but the moment is fleeting. The Hopefall campaign created visual representations, in the form of snowflakes, on the JointheHopefall.com website. Visitors can click on a snowflake, hear a unique ring and learn the name and location of an individual who rang the Hope Bell.</p><p>The campaign successfully reached its target audience: patients staying at Hope Lodges, ACS and Hope Lodge staff and past cancer survivors and their loved ones. From December 18, 2023, to January 9, 2024, the website had more than 1,400 unique users from 25 different countries.</p><h3>Honorable mention</h3><p><strong>Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Weber Shandwick</strong><br>Real People.

Working with Syneos Health, the company chose a surprising vehicle to address these issues: a musical titled <em>Most Likely Not To&hellip;</em> that places the experience of its disabled protagonist at the heart of the story. It portrays the challenges she faces when traveling to her high school reunion, and the responses of her classmates to her success in life.</p><p>While more than 300 people attended the show&rsquo;s premiere, media outreach carried its message to many more. Journalists in the audience represented top outlets, including <em>Good Morning America, NBC News NOW</em> and <em>CBS Sunday Morning</em>. More than 140 earned media stories covered the musical.

Negative stereotypes are common not only among the public and the entertainment industry but even in some healthcare campaigns. Too often people living with schizophrenia are portrayed as unstable at best and dangerous at worst.</p><p>Bristol Myers Squibb and RxMosaic built the Live Your PosSCZible campaign on the pillars of empathy and compassion. The goal was a complete retelling of the experience of living with schizophrenia, representing the spectrum of people living with the condition and bringing to life the value they bring to their families, their communities and society at large. Partnerships with around 15 influencers allowed them to tell their stories and when Broadway star Taye Diggs, whose sister was diagnosed with schizophrenia, joined the effort the campaign was able to reach a broad range of trade, consumer, local and Black-focused publications.</p><p>The campaign propelled awareness of schizophrenia with coverage across outlets including <em>People,</em> CBS News, NBC News, <em>In Touch Weekly,</em> ET, <em>Essence,</em><em>US Weekly, Daily Mail</em> and BlackDoctor.org. It had an estimated 5.58 million video views and 86,400 engagements with the content.&nbsp;</p><h3>Honorable mention</h3><p><strong>Supernus Pharmaceuticals and Burson</strong><br>Busy Philipps ADHD Campaign</p></div><div class="col span_2_of_2 sidebar"><img src="https://cached.offlinehbpl.hbpl.co.uk/galleries/ORP/HCA25-MentalHealth.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><h2>FINALISTS</h2><p><strong>Bristol Myers Squibb and RxMosaic </strong>Live Your PosSCZible</p><p><strong>The Cigna Group </strong>Vitality in America 2023 Optimism Prevails&nbsp;</p><p><strong>NeuroStar and EvolveMKD </strong>Breaking Barriers with NeuroStar Depression Barometer</p><p><strong>Northwell Health </strong>One South: Portrait of a Psych Unit</p><p><strong>Supernus Pharmaceuticals and Burson </strong>Busy Philipps ADHD Campaign</p></div></div><hr><!-- end of category --><p><!-- start of category --><div class="section group"><div class="col span_1_of_2"><h2><a name="Oncology" class="offset"></a>Best in Oncology</h2><h3>Winner</h3><h3>Johnson &amp; Johnson Innovative Medicine, 21Grams and Real Chemistry</h3><p>Dad Genes</p><p>BRCA gene mutations are primarily associated with women and breast cancer (the BR stands for &ldquo;breast&rdquo; and the CA for &ldquo;cancer&rdquo;) but they can also be indicators among men of an elevated risk of developing certain cancers, including prostate cancer. However, getting men to take the proactive step of being tested for the mutation can be challenging. As was revealed during 21Grams Dinners held with multiple patients, many men are reluctant to talk to their doctors.</p><p>This insight was crucial to the Dad Genes campaign which emphasized that talking to a doctor about testing is not just about protecting yourself, it&rsquo;s also about being a responsible father. The campaign&rsquo;s imagery was a celebration of all-American representations of dads: BBQ cookouts, polo shirts, mini golf and the dad jeans that provided the inspiration for the campaign&rsquo;s name.
