NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Havas Health & You (HH&Y), the premier healthcare marketing and communications agency, and its network of agencies captured a record number of recognitions at this year's Medical Marketing + Media (MM+M) awards. Notably, Havas Health Plus earned the Titanium "Best in Show" award for their "ParkinSex" campaign, Denise Henry, Group President of Havas Life, was recognized as "Agency Entrepreneur of the Year," and the network secured three agency of the year accolades. Collectively, the group received 7 gold awards and 1 silver. 

"HH&Y has always taken pride in putting human purpose at the center of everything we do," says Donna Murphy, Global CEO of Havas Health & You and Havas Creative Network. "This year's MM+M wins are a testament to using the power of creativity and innovation to inspire healthier lives."

The MM+M Awards strive to recognize, champion, and celebrate creativity and effectiveness in healthcare marketing and communications, and is judged entirely by fellow industry peers.

The work recognized included "ParkinSex" by Havas Health Plus for the American Parkinson Disease Association – a campaign that put human-centered design and accessibility into practice by launching a physical and digital booklet/kit to help patients and their partners overcome the disproportionately high rate of sexual dysfunction experienced by Parkinson's patients.

"Everyday Heroes," a partnership between HH&Y, Pfizer, and Marvel, became the most downloaded comic of 2020, honoring nurses fighting COVID-19 and shifting the narrative surrounding vaccination.

"Over the last two years, HH&Y has placed an increased focus on tackling one of the greatest generational threats humanity has ever faced – health inequity," said Eric Weisberg, Global CCO of HH&Y.
