Pioneering Healthcare Communications for Today’s Patients and Consumers
Healthcare is at an inflection point. As the industry continues to evolve, challenges such as staffing, rising costs, and access to care escalate, while AI and other disruptive technologies emerge.
These times demand the entrepreneurial, innovative thinking the New England Society for Healthcare Communication (NESHCo) is known for. NESHCo has always been at the forefront of healthcare marketing and communications. We are proud to bring pioneering thought leadership to Springfield, Massachusetts, in the heart of the Pioneer Valley.
The 2025 NESHCo conference — Pioneering Healthcare Communications for Today’s Patients and Consumers — promises to bring together NESHCo’s collaborative community of leading professionals to identify, discuss, and tackle the daunting challenges, opportunities, and solutions affecting healthcare marketing and communication professionals today. From marketing trends to strategic positioning for the future, this can’t-miss conference promises to be where experts and industry newcomers alike can learn the skills and generate the creative ideas they need to overcome the challenges ahead.
Design notes:
Reflecting the theme, some members of the conference committee remembered the Oregon Trail pioneering spirit video game that was popular in the late 20th century. Those familiar with the game might recognize elements in the conference design. You can play the game at https://oregontrail.ws/games/the-oregon-trail/. We hope the pioneer theme, like the game, encourages you to plan ahead throughout your adventure-filled healthcare communications journey.

We are excited to see you and your pioneering colleagues at the conference!
