PHILADELPHIA — May 17, 2022 — PM360, the premier information resource for marketing decision makers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, diagnostics and medical device sectors, has named Lauren Lawhon, Health Union’s president and COO, as one of the 2022 PM360 ELITE. She is one of six individuals recognized in the Strategists category. Now in its eighth year, the PM360 ELITE recognizes the 100 most influential people in the healthcare industry today. You can read the official write-up on Lauren on PM360’s website.

With more than two decades of healthcare industry experience, Lawhon has been instrumental in identifying how to effectively manage priorities as Health Union navigates new opportunities, changing dynamics and impressive growth. Whether she’s leading Health Union through the recent acquisition of WEGO Health, assessing the organizational structure needed to support double-digit growth in team members or determining the implications of doing too much too fast, Lawhon consistently takes control of situations, conveys a clear vision and brings a level of passion that gets everyone aligned and energized.

Lawhon joined Health Union in 2014 and most recently served as chief operating officer before taking over the role of president in 2021. Her strengths as a leader derive from her ability to combine her business acumen – a combination of her strategic approach, ability to connect tactics to goals and understanding of the organization and the healthcare industry – with a high emotional intelligence and people-first approach.

This is the fifth consecutive year that a member of Health Union’s leadership team has been recognized among the PM360 ELITE.

The PM360 ELITE Awards were established in 2015 to recognize individuals and teams who have made a significant impact on the life sciences and healthcare industry throughout their careers. More than 500 submissions were received, and nominees were evaluated and selected by the PM360 editorial staff based on their accomplishments; testimonials from their bosses, clients and colleagues; and supporting evidence that reflects the impact of their efforts.
