The Health Podcast Summit Difference

We help healthcare organizations and professionals build trust through clinically accurate audio-first content. Our team at Mission Based Media has spent years understanding what it takes to create health content that engages, educates and empowers audiences.

After seeing too much health misinformation spread through popular media while clinically accurate voices struggled to be heard, we knew the healthcare industry needed a better approach.

That's when we developed the frameworks, resources and strategies that have helped hundreds of content creators build trusted platforms through strategic audio-first health content.

Our platforms now feature some of the most credible voices in healthcare, delivering millions of evidence-based listens annually. We've had the privilege of helping healthcare organizations navigate the intersection of clinical accuracy, patient trust, and compelling storytelling while also managing the technical and operational complexities of podcasting.

At Health Podcast Summit 2025, our speakers will share proven insights about how healthcare leaders, brands, and organizations can use podcasting to cut through the noise, build genuine relationships, and create the kind of health information that truly makes a difference.

Whether you're a clinician looking to extend your impact, a health organization exploring audio-first strategies, or a medical communicator ready to amplify trusted voices, Health Podcast Summit will help you get results.
