Crisis
We manage the healthtech industry’s most complicated, profound issues that can change the future health of millions.
Every company is vulnerable to crises. Disruptive health technologies in particular can be subject to litigation, patent disputes, regulatory issues, recalls, and disparaging commentary echoed across social media. Uncontrolled issues can devastate a brand’s reputation, valuation, employee morale, and survival.
Our award winning crisis management approach has successfully solved more than 20 critical U.S. and global issues. We manage all internal and external communications in real time as events unfold, and maintain credibility, and confidence in products, services, leaders, companies, and entire industries.
We use a variety of approaches such as our Concentric framework below for rapid analysis and strategic triaging to respond, recover, and rebuild reputations.

COVID-19
The novel coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 disease is an unprecedented situation and our greatest public health threat.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Thermal has been dedicated to the safety and well-being of our staff and community, and to the needs of our clients. We understand that this is a watershed moment for all companies, especially health technology companies. This is the time that thoughtful, transparent leadership, strategic planning, and clear communications are more vital than ever.
Thermal actively supports companies and organizations working to diagnose, treat, and cure COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. We also advise clients not directly addressing COVID-19 on how they can maintain business continuity, navigate our new reality, and position their businesses for a post-pandemic world.
