High-Stakes Moments Need More Than A Press Release

Alex Gilliland

Strategic communications for health systems and health care CEOs navigating change

More than 50% of Americans have a negative view of health care.

That means that every message your system puts out carries more weight than ever, but your team is already stretched thin. I help health systems and health care leaders cut through the noise and tell a better story during critical moments of change or transition.

Work With Me

Perspective of a Journalist

A decade of experience in TV news and as a press secretary on Capitol Hill means I know how stories are shaped, and I build your communications strategy around that.


Policy Depth

With a master’s in public policy, I'm fluent in value-based care, Medicare Advantage, CMS, and the broader forces reshaping health care, giving me the insight to effectively craft a message that reinforces or redefines your brand within the industry.


Embedded With Your Executive Team

Years of experience writing for members of Congress helps me embed easily with leaders and CEOs. I quickly identify personal voice and tone so that I write like your leader talks and deliver personalized content that reinforces your system’s values.
