Built by Experience. Trusted by Clients

"Shannon’s continued support of Imvax and her focus on patients and families means a great deal to us at Imvax. Her knowledge of clinical trials, efficacy, and trial recruitment goes beyond the scope of storytelling. We are grateful that she supports our clinical trials with her medical storytelling to move the needle in GBM.”

Imvax Inc

“Shannon Traphagen has produced one of the finest quality podcasts that has had mass healthcare appeal and impact nationally. Not only has she supported advocacy for brain cancer patients and clinical trials, it has opened up the dialogue between oncology departments and cancer centers. She has found a way to bridge the gap between necessary treatment options and the cancer centers that offer innovative treatments that patients are not aware of. She has also become a bridge of communication between healthcare facilities, to allow us to support our patients in a more holistic way. Shannon was recognized by the CNS conference three years ago, being personally invited by the President of CNS that year to D.C. Shannon and her team continue to work tirelessly to support powerful messaging across different cancer spectrums to help both the medical and patient communities in our continued fight against cancer.”

Dr. John Boockvar-Lenox Hill Hospital/Lenox Hill Brain Tumor Center

Shannon's dedication to medical media storytelling and patients' families is unmatched throughout this current media landscape. Her ability to bring real people's stories of courage through immense challenge gives me constant hope as a surgeon who treats tumors everyday. Shannon's dedication to this work is impressive and should be recognized."
