The mission behind Comms Rx

Comms Rx is your prescription for better communication in healthcare, research, policy, patient engagement, and beyond.


Welcome to Comms Rx — a newsletter that bridges the gap between strategy and execution in the evolving field of health communication.

Authored by Maxime Lê, founder of Lê & Co. Health Communication Santé — a bespoke consulting firm delivering fit-for-purpose strategies for the Canadian health sector — Comms Rx also features the voices of trusted experts and community leaders.

Whether you work in a hospital, research institute, nonprofit, or public agency, Comms Rx delivers sharp insights, practical fixes, and ready-to-use strategies to help you communicate with clarity, trust, and purpose.

What to expect

We diagnose communication breakdowns and prescribe better ways forward, taking you from Dx (diagnosis) to Rx (prescription) for the communication challenges faced by health systems today.

But we’ll go beyond that. You’ll find explorations of:

  • How communication influences health outcomes

  • How misinformation affects health literacy

  • What trust really means in health systems

  • Where technology (like AI) intersects with equity and care

  • And my personal favourite: why communication is a determinant of health
