About Ginny Vachon

I am a medical writer and communications consultant specialized in development of medical messaging for investor and thought-leader communications. I am skilled at weaving research findings into a compelling scientific story consistent with strategic imperatives. When I work with a client, the beauty of their technology, the promise of their compound, the rationale for their study, the meaning of clinical or scientific research findings, and the profound clinical need are effectively communicated. A scientific story should be a work of art, not only beautiful and true, but also a joy to share!I am also experienced in the development of advisory board executive summaries, medical manuscript development and management, and research-intensive projects requiring systematic review of the literature.
