We are fortunate to have a client roster of companies that work in various ways to create better living for consumers. One such example is Savant Capital Management, a nationally recognized top 10 fee-only wealth management firm with a hub in the Washington, D.C. marketplace.

BRG had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the recent PRSA Health Academy Conference here in Washington D.C. It was an engaging conference with compelling speakers and a passionate high-energy group of attendees. All in attendance shared interest in communications that increase awareness of important health issues, and positively and impact everyday choices people make in the name of health and wellness. The interactive presentations were diverse and far-reaching including organizations like the American Cancer Society, CDC, and Aetna.
