"We are delighted to welcome akt health into the growing network
at JPA Health," said Carrie Jones,
CEO of JPA Health. "The company's accomplished leadership team
shares our core values and commitment to exceptional client
service. While JPA Health has a strong track record supporting U.S.

health offers a bespoke service to healthcare clients, motivated by
a central mission to make the world a healthier place while
improving and protecting lives. The team has received global

the JPA Health family and to bring a new depth of European and UK
expertise to this growing team. JPA and akt are both deeply
committed to excellence in client service and fostering an agency
culture that values its people. Through this alliance, we look
forward to offering enhanced capabilities, passion and unrivaled
creativity to our clients."
The acquisition of akt health is JPA's third transaction
following the recent additions of medical communications firm
BioCentric, a medical communications agency
