Virtual Care Leader eVisit Taps Amendola as Agency of Record

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Amendola Communications, a nationally recognized, award-winning healthcare and technology public relations and marketing firm, announces that virtual care leader eVisit has selected the group to manage its media outreach and thought leadership initiatives. The decision comes after an extensive review of other national agencies.

Founded in 2014, eVisit started with the goal to simplify the way healthcare organizations deliver care to their patients, regardless of where they are. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth has accelerated and virtual care solutions are a crucial way health systems and hospitals are delivering patient care and staying competitive.  As a market leader, eVisit aims to ensure virtual visits are as easy as possible for providers and their patients, all while enhancing care quality.

"We are tremendously excited for this partnership with the Amendola team," says Bret Larsen, CEO and Co-founder, eVisit. "We chose Amendola because of the team's energy and passion for earned media, their keen ability to see a good story and their expertise in healthcare. As we continue toward our vision to simplify healthcare delivery to everyone, everywhere, we welcome their contribution with more eyes on our mission, technology and services, as well as to help us amplify eVisit's unique position in the marketplace."

Amendola joined forces with eVisit shortly after the virtual care leader raised $14 million in series A funding. In 2020, eVisit also saw their inclusion in the 2020 Gartner Market Guide for Virtual Care Solutions, which names eVisit as a Representative Vendor and cites the five critical capabilities to look for when selecting a virtual care solution.

Amendola will leverage its media relationships to help showcase eVisit's services, innovation, consultative approach and customer successes, with an emphasis on securing exposure opportunities through media, speaking and other engagements for company leadership, its customers, and the providers and patients who benefit directly from the eVisit solution. 

"Amendola thrives by telling stories. We earn media engagements by focusing on education, and by digging deep to find interesting angles that writers and reporters will want to delve into," says agency CEO, Jodi Amendola. "As virtual care becomes the norm, it's an honor to work with eVisit, a company whose founders are mission-driven and believe in the need to simplify healthcare delivery to everyone, everywhere."
