About Jennifer Hauser

For over 25 years, Jennifer has worked with global companies, hospitals, health systems, brands and public health organizations to create positive business and social change through insightful strategy, creative ideas, and multi-disciplinary activations using the most modern, impactful approaches. Notable assignments that garnered national attention and cultural significance include the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign; CVS Health’s “Get Quit” partnership with the American Lung Association, and the American Legacy’s Foundation “Truth” and “Circle of Friends” campaigns. She’s counseled business and thought leaders at the intersection of health and technology whose vision and innovations are driving long-term positive health transformation across patient populations, health systems, and health plans, including Amazon Web Services, Allina Health System, Ascension Health, GE Healthcare, Healthways, Microsoft, and Navvis. Jennifer’s experience encompasses vast brand experience across multiple consumer health/CPG categories, including tobacco control, weight management, and fitness. A passionate advocate for changing the health paradigm from “sick care” to “well care” and broadening the definition of health as “whole person care,” Jennifer conceived, developed and launched the “Edelman Well-Being Study,” first-of-its-kind cross-generational research to examine consumer attitudes and behaviors on well-being and the role that business and brands can play in personal and communal health improvement. She’s been a keynote speaker at the CDC, Healthways Well-Being Summit, SXSW, AHIP, and James Beard Foundation Food Summit. Jennifer is an adjunct faculty member at New York University. She’s held board positions for the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association. Prior to Edelman, Jennifer owned a Chicago-based PR agency she started in 1993. She sold her agency to Havas in 2002.
