About Us
At Health Monitor, our mission is to empower patients and healthcare providers with engaging, accessible and inclusive health education at all points of care.
For over 40 years, Health Monitor has been a nationally recognized, targeted healthcare marketing platform for the Pharma/OTC industry.
We were the first company to place educational content on digital screens in patient exam rooms and are proud to have been a founding member of the Point of Care Marketing Association: a group that helps ensure the standard of measurement and validation for brand advertisers in point of care marketing.
Today, our in-house, award-winning content studio creates educational healthcare content that fosters more productive patient-physician dialogue at every point of care–we call it The Health Monitor Difference.
