Back in ye olden days, circa 1997, a quirky and popular actress named Ellen made national and international news headlines, notably landing on the cover of Time magazine, just for publicly stating what many people kinda sorta already knew.

With the ever-changing landscape and complexity of the healthcare industry, it is crucial that marketers educate today's uber healthy and active Millennials with the right amount of information on the right devices and platforms.
