Industry innovators join forces to help clients navigate pathway from science to value

San Diego CA—March 23, 2023—Industry innovators and change leaders Neil Matheson, John ‘Zeke’ Czekanski, and Scott Roberts have joined forces under the CiTRUS Health Group umbrella to create a robust, boutique strategic consulting business that blends Scientific & Medical Communications with Market Access. Through this integrated platform clients can clearly articulate the scientific, clinical, and real-world evidence to establish a strong value proposition and ultimately successful commercialization. CiTRUS ensures clients will have a clear pathway from science to value.

Supported by investment company NaviMed Capital, CiTRUS Health Group has acquired Prescott Medical Communications Group, CiTRUS Scientific, and CiTRUS Market Access as the foundational building blocks of the group.  “Our focus is on professional healthcare communications services businesses that are committed to improving patient outcomes through trusted partnerships with their clients,” commented NaviMed Managing Director, Bijan Salehizadeh, MD. “We are really excited to bring together and support this group of industry leaders that have a history of building innovative, successful businesses”, added Ryan Ross, Principal, NaviMed Capital.

The Prescott Medical Communications, CiTRUS Scientific, and CiTRUS Market Access brands will not change, and the group plans additional acquisitions to enhance the service offering and bring synergistic skills to the existing team.
