About

My name is Helen Tanner. I am a clinical consultant and medical writer with more than 20 years across clinical practice, public health, and startup leadership. I have spent more than 10 years practicing as a PA-C, secured millions in funding for healthcare organizations including the VA and NIH, and served as VP of Clinical Development at a healthcare startup from inception through Series B. Early-stage companies are where I do my best work.

I write regularly and publicly on LinkedIn. My work reaches more than 3 million clinicians through Doximity publication and other clinical platforms. I founded The Early Hires, a podcast and growing community for clinicians navigating healthcare startups. I now channel all of that through Prescriptive Ink, serving early-stage companies, digital health organizations, healthcare startups and medical practices that need to speak credibly to providers and patients.
