Healio Earns Gold and Merit Honors in the 2026 Healthcare Advertising Awards

July 16, 2026

Thorofare, N.J. — Healio has earned two honors in the 2026 Healthcare Advertising Awards, receiving a Gold Award for the Healio AI “Never Settle” total advertising campaign and a Merit Award for the “Shark Week: Would You Rather?” social content.

The Healthcare Advertising Awards is one of the largest and most respected health care advertising competitions, recognizing excellence in advertising, marketing and communications across the industry.

Healio AI’s “Never Settle” campaign received a Gold Award for introducing Healio AI as a physician-first artificial intelligence platform built on trusted medical expertise and evidence-based content. The campaign established a distinct brand platform centered on transparency, credibility and innovation.

“With Healio AI’s Never Settle campaign, our goal was to challenge expectations for what clinical AI should be,” said Sarah Graham, Vice President of Brand Strategy at Healio. “We wanted to create a brand that reflected physicians’ demand for trusted, transparent and continually evolving solutions. This recognition is especially meaningful because it celebrates the creative and strategic work behind introducing Healio AI as a new standard in physician-first AI.”

Healio also received a Merit Award for its “Shark Week: Would You Rather?” social content campaign, which engaged physicians through a series of interactive questions blending health care scenarios with Shark Week themes.

“The Shark Week content demonstrated how editorial and social teams can work together to engage audiences in new ways,” said Regina Schaffer, Executive Editor at Healio. “By combining timely content with interactive storytelling, we were able to create a distinctly human social experience that resonated with physicians while bringing the Healio brand into a broader cultural conversation.”

“The recognition of both campaigns reflects the breadth of how we think about brand building at Healio,” said Graham. “Whether we’re introducing a physician-first AI platform or creating engaging social experiences, our focus is on creating meaningful connections with health care professionals through experiences that are relevant, trusted and designed to deliver value.”

The award-winning campaigns reflect Healio’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovative brand experiences, trusted content and meaningful engagement for health care professionals.
