About us
We’re in business to better lives by designing health information that’s easy to understand and use.
Our story
CommunicateHealth was founded on a shared belief — that everyone deserves clear and simple information about their health. We are a community of writers, designers, social science researchers, web developers, educators, entrepreneurs, and more — all dedicated to improving the way people understand and use information about their health. From publishing the first edition of Health Literacy Online in 2010 to advancing the practice of human-centered design for health, CommunicateHealth has been a leader in clear communication.
It all started in Stacy and Xanthi’s attic. Together with Sandy, they turned their passion into an award-winning company that’s changing the way we think about health information design.

Our Commitment
At CommunicateHealth, we actively seek out diverse perspectives and experiences. We do this because it leads to new ideas, smarter decisions, and a stronger organization. And we do it because, in order to design better health information, we must listen to and learn from one another and the people we serve.
We want to disrupt inequities within our organization and the field of public health. We push ourselves to reach that goal by learning, unlearning, and challenging how we work together.
