Letter from Our President

It has been so wonderful to connect with this community over the past many years. I have found the strength and determination of you all to be an inspiration. You have continued to embrace change, bring excitement, and provide comfort through marketing and messaging. I look forward to celebrating with all of you for the achievements made this past year.

Over the past Covid years Health Care Communicators has sought to remain connected to our members through our Wine and Wisdom events. We’ve offered a few educational events like Creating Presentations that Persuade audiences and Generate Results. Additionally, we cross promote events held by others such as Biocom’s Celebrating Black History Month: Black Biotech Trailblazers in Life Science.

HCC continues to be committed at looking for ways to improve our offerings to the community. We strive to become a resource for sharing valuable connections amongst our peers in southern California. It brings me and our board members great joy to offer valuable networking and educational events to our colleagues in the health care marketing and communication industries.

Finally, a huge thank you to our sponsors and membership who have been incredibly supportive of HCC and our mission, we thank you greatly!

Sincerely,

Christina Campo, HCC President
