Their mobile-first approach expands access for patients and increases adherence to post-operative therapy, lowering costs for providers and creating a new mode of employment for expert physical therapists.

“Legacy physical therapy models built solely on brick-and-mortar clinics are not working for patients,” said Luna Co-founder and Chief Clinical Officer Palak Shah. “The best evidence of this is the fact that 70 percent of patients never complete their treatment plan, and 63 percent expressing a preference for at-home physical therapy. Luna’s on-demand, in-home approach not only helps patients get healthy, but provides new levels of flexibility, independence, and income potential for therapists, and helps hospitals and clinics retain patients. We’re teaming with Amendola to get the word out about this pivotal development in healthcare. Amendola’s deep industry knowledge and media connections, virtually assures the visibility we need to continue our rapid growth and momentum.”

Amendola is implementing a full-service communication strategy for Luna that will amplify the company’s ongoing brand, growth, service updates, expertise and successes. Recently Luna officially introduced their turnkey solution, Rehab at Home™ and announced their expansion in the Greater Seattle and Dallas regions through key local provider partnerships.

“The physical therapy market was hungry for a better way to support patient rehabilitation, and Luna provides a high-quality, low-cost solution for them,” said agency CEO Jodi Amendola. “Introducing this model to the wider rehabilitation space is an important step forward in continuing to meet growing value-based care requirements and offering more consumer-centric programs. We’re excited to partner with Luna on this endeavor.”

To learn more about how Luna is a new era of technology-enabled physical therapy, visit getluna.com.

For leading health systems and orthopedic groups, Luna improves revenue for rehabilitation services by dramatically expanding access and reach, improving adherence, reducing costs, and standardizing quality.

The “Top Women in PR Awards” recognizes the inspiring, innovative and supportive women making an impact not only for their companies, but within the PR industry as a whole.

Marcia Rhodes, vice president of Amendola Communications, nominated Jodi for the honor.

“Over the past 8 years that I’ve worked for Amendola, I’ve seen Jodi continue to build her full-service agency into a leader in healthcare, health IT and life sciences public relations, marketing and social media. I’m impressed every day by Jodi’s drive, enthusiasm, humility and humanity. Jodi’s flexibility, initiative and business skills enabled Amendola to grow even during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, even as many agencies were experiencing massive layoffs. She is a great leader, PR and marketing professional, mentor and friend.”

Throughout her career, Jodi has been driven by a desire to change healthcare for the better and for everyone. Combined with a razor-sharp industry acumen, this vision has served as the foundation for the success of Amendola Communications during the past 18 years. She has grown the agency to include a staff of 25 and approximately 50 national PR, marketing, digital marketing, content marketing and social media clients.

Under Jodi’s leadership, Amendola Communications has continually evolved its strategic approach. As early as the mid-2000s, she foresaw the need for an integrated model that provides clients with holistic public relations and marketing programs. Today, each client campaign is built upon a foundation of analytics and metrics with a multi-faceted program consisting of public relations, marketing, digital marketing, SEO, paid search management and/or paid social. In an ever-changing industry, Jodi has remained a trusted resource for healthcare IT analysts and editors, who depend on her agency for high-quality client interviews, articles and case studies.

Even amid the pandemic in 2020, Amendola Communications continued to experience business success, largely due to some quick pivots of Jodi’s business model focused on helping Amendola’s clients who were adapting their healthcare, health IT and life sciences products and services to help fight the pandemic and keep people healthier.

“I’m honored to receive this PR News award along with many other outstanding women,” Jodi said. “My secret to success is really very simple—I believe in hard work, authenticity and giving back.
