With perceptions of health shifting from something that needs to be fixed to something that should be developed and improved within each facet of people's daily lifestyle, Edelman believes health is everyone's business. As the world's largest agency and home to 500+ health specialists and colleagues, Edelman has the global perspective, resources, and people to provide cross-practice offerings to help our clients thrive in the changing business of health. We are looking for someone who can join our team who enjoys tackling some of the most challenging health-related communications issues facing society today.
