Health Technology & Devices
We are on the threshold of a transformative period for healthcare technology around the world. Advances in information technology, nanotechnology, robotics and other disciplines are changing healthcare for consumers and providers alike.
We are actively participating in the new era of the “quantified self”. Millions of consumers worldwide will increasingly monitor their health in real-time. And this data will enable healthcare providers to better coordinate care, improve outcomes and reduce costs. We will see new modes of treatment and new business and operational models.
With tremendous opportunities ahead, innovators will also face challenges in the marketplace and in the halls of government. How do you tell your untold story? How do you lead the world onto a new path?
TogoRun is an experienced leader in healthcare communications, marketing and public affairs. We know how to navigate and conquer new territory. Equally as important, we recognize that cutting-edge solutions and services often need to break new ground to communicate their vision. We can help you develop groundbreaking programs that make all the difference.

We not only understand how to market these types of brands, we also understand how to successfully navigate the complexities of the medical aesthetics regulatory environment.

Non-Profit/Foundations
Health-related foundations and non-profits must disrupt the status quo and push the envelope to improve the lives of others. TogoRun helps make it happen.
We work with organizations to develop compelling untold stories and communications programs that resonate with opinion leaders, elected officials, the media and the diverse communities they serve. We also help these organizations make connections with corporate supporters who share common goals.

Provider / Payer
Hospitals and healthcare providers are at the heart of our health and well-being. They assemble teams of healthcare professionals, invest in leading technologies and coordinate care across facilities. Hospitals and healthcare providers, whether publicly or privately funded, do more than just deliver care to individuals, they help nurture whole communities.
TogoRun helps hospitals and healthcare providers address a range of communications and regulatory challenges that arise in this dynamic sector. We understand patients, science and medicine, and the way policies and perceptions impact them. With deep ties to reporters across all media, we know the kinds of stories and anecdotes that resonate, the issues and policies that impact healthcare delivery, and the importance of demonstrating success with data.
We’ve worked with clients large and small; from multi-country and multi-state hospital systems, to regional facilities and single-site institutions. We’ve helped healthcare providers establish their thought leadership, communicate their community value, raise funds and demonstrate their commitment to improving healthcare outcomes.

Public Affairs
Every day, government officials make decisions that impact how businesses operate and succeed. In the case of healthcare—whether you’re a pharmaceutical innovator, a device manufacturer or an insurance organization—government regulation, procurement and funding can have an enormous impact on your ability to thrive.
Legislative and regulatory bodies are in a state of profound flux, constantly creating new challenges for a broad range of pharmaceutical, bio-tech and medical device products. TogoRun’s seasoned team has political know-how and a proven track record in navigating clients through this highly-regulated healthcare environment. We blend law and communications counsel on a broad range of legislative and regulatory issues across the entire product lifecycle, focusing on supporting appropriate legislation, securing approvals, managing issues and ensuring compliance.
Our seasoned Washington, D.C. staff is skilled in waging and winning public affairs battles. Our staff has assisted countless entities with legislative and regulatory issues, reputation management and public policy campaigns at the federal, state and local levels. Our team of senior healthcare communications strategists have extensive experience having served members of the United States House and Senate, Presidential campaigns, various federal agencies and healthcare trade associations. Our extensive government affairs experience, combined with strategic, communications and mobilization capabilities, enables our clients to succeed, whether in Washington, D.C., Brussels or beyond.
To us, healthcare policy really DOES matter. We write about it on our Healthcare Policy Matters blog. We published the 2015 Freshman Health Book, profiling the healthcare statuses of the 114th U.S. Congressional Freshman class. Click here to download.
