JPA Health, an independent, full-service agency dedicated to the health sector, has announced the acquisition of akt health, a London-based communications agency renowned for its excellence in public relations, medical education, and patient engagement programs. This strategic move aims to bolster JPA Health’s global footprint and enhance its ability to deliver comprehensive healthcare solutions.
Carrie Jones, CEO of JPA Health, expressed her enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “We are delighted to welcome akt health into the growing network at JPA Health. Its accomplished leadership team shares our core values and commitment to exceptional client service. While JPA Health has a strong track record supporting U.S. and global clients, we recognize the increasing importance of the European market to our clients’ businesses. akt’s deep understanding of these market complexities will be a valuable addition, enhancing our ability to deliver impactful healthcare solutions on a global scale.”
Founded in 2018 by Anna Radnavale, Katy Foy, and Tim Cockroft, akt health offers bespoke services to healthcare clients with a mission to improve and protect lives.

The acquisition of akt health marks JPA’s third major transaction, following the additions of BioCentric and True North Solutions. With nearly 150 employees worldwide and offices in the U.S., UK, and Switzerland, JPA Health now offers an extensive range of services including corporate communications, brand marketing, patient engagement, and scientific storytelling. The akt founders will join JPA Health as Executive Directors, and all akt health employees will integrate into the JPA Health team, reinforcing the agency's commitment to excellence and innovation in healthcare communications.
