SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Amendola Communications, an award-winning healthcare marketing and public relations agency, heads into 2018 following a banner year of record-setting growth with new-client acquisition.  

Amendola and its clients benefited from the accelerating market for healthcare technology in the U.S. and globally. The worldwide market for preventive healthcare technologies and services, alone—just one of several medical technology market segments—is expected to reach $432 billion by 2024, up from $139 billion in 2013, according to a recent report from Grand View Research.

Amid the expanding market, Amendola added over 20 new companies to its client roster in 2017, a record number in its 14-year history.

"This is a time of incredible growth for the industry and for Amendola Communications," said CEO Jodi Amendola. "It's a credit to our team of strategic doers and their ability to consistently deliver impressive, meaningful impact for our clients."

Notable new clients in 2017 included:

• GetWellNetwork - the industry's only true provider of cross-continuum patient engagement solutions
• GlobalMed – the world's most-used telemedicine provider with over 15 million consults in 55 countries.
• HealthBI – providing the tools that enable healthcare payers and providers to reduce admissions and readmissions, automate care transition and improved value-based care performance and HEDIS outcomes

• Medicomp - a physician-driven provider of contextual patient data solutions.
• Meridian - a leading provider of revenue cycle, business intelligence, EMR and system integration services for large, multi-specialty physician groups and academic practice plans.
