The company's award-winning, condition specific printed patient education materials, combined with touchless screens in exam rooms, have continued to demonstrate very strong ROI for clients, even during the pandemic.

"I am thrilled that David has joined the Health Monitor Network team," says CEO Ken Freirich.

I am also looking forward to supporting the company's award-winning patient education content that plays a critical role in getting patients to take action and follow their physicians' treatment plans."

Paragamian added, "In my career I have gravitated toward companies that put people at the center of what they do and embrace innovation as the fuel for growth. Health Monitor is a client-obsessed organization which goes well beyond the massive exposure it provides brands. Moreover, Health Monitor continues to embrace innovation in order to be a true leader in the DTP space. What we do matters to patients, HCPs and brands. I am looking forward to building deep client relationships and becoming a valued partner to brand marketers."
