Health Communication Core

The Health Communication Core (HCC) offers a full range of professional creative services — including writing, design, website development, and printing — to researchers, clinicians, and others from Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC), Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), and other medical and research institutions.

The HCC staff and faculty include health communication experts whose backgrounds range from behavioral science and message testing to web development and graphic design. The Core can lend its expertise at any point in a project, and is also available for consultation at the start of a project, to help investigators determine what they will need to effectively communicate.
