“Effective health communication strategies require collaboration and partnership between researchers, practitioners and community members… “
—K. “VISH” VISWANATH
Who we are
The Health Communication Core (HCC) offers a full spectrum of evidence-based communication services and in-depth knowledge of health issues.
Our group was founded in 1999 by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, who recognized the need for a shared resource to provide Boston’s many medical and public health institutions with cost-effective communication services that were evidence-based and audience-centered.
Housed at Dana-Farber, we work with health leaders, researchers, and clinicians at all of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC) institutions and across the U.S. We have extensive experience working within DF/HCC institutions, including with institutional branding and website requirements.
HCC operates under the direction of K. Vish Viswanath, PhD, Professor of Health Communication in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and in the McGraw-Patterson Center for Population Sciences at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
