Healthcare Writing

Testimonials

I’ve been a freelance healthcare writer for over 15 years and have been blessed to work with so many incredible people and organizations during that time. Here are testimonials from some of them. Though their roles may have since changed, their titles were current at the time the testimonial was provided.

“Consider yourself fortunate if you ever have the opportunity to work with Sue. I sure do. For the past several years, she helped my team create an impressive variety of engaging healthcare content for customers and prospects alike.

Sue’s nursing background provided insight that always complemented excellent writing and a cheerful ‘can do’ attitude. Her organizational skills and attention to detail made every project a pleasure.”

Joe Edwards, Manager, Content Marketing, Inovalon (Linkedin recommendation April 15, 2026)

“There are no words to describe how fantastic Sue is. If you are looking for top quality research, content that will stand out, and all the other amazing skillsets you are looking for in a person to hire… then your search is over. Sue is it. Congratulations on your awesome discovery. Hire her now before others do. You won’t regret it. I did, and she grew our online editorial department from nothing to globally influential (seriously) and all I had to do was just point her in the right direction. If I had my way, I would clone Sue and have all my employees as Sues. Even then there still wouldn’t be enough of her. But here is the icing on the cake: She also happens to be one of the most authentic, caring, and generous human beings you will ever come across and I am blessed that over the years, she has become a very close friend for life.”

“I’ve worked with Sue for more than five years, and she is consistently professional, responsive, and enthusiastic. She crafts copy quickly and is always eager to work collaboratively to help us achieve our content goals. Her unique background as a registered nurse more than qualifies her to be a true thought leader in the space and a reliable source. She is a joy to work with and an incredible asset to me and my team.”

Kelly Moon
Senior Editorial Manager, Content Marketing 2U Inc. (2020)

“Sue is great. It’s really that simple. She is a great person, asks insightful questions, is very thoughtful in her work and delivers a great product. What else does anyone want when developing content? Being a caregiver, she offers a unique perspective to digital health and it comes across in her work. She is a joy to work with.”

Chris Edwards
Chief Marketing and Experience Officer, Conversa Health (2017)

“We were fortunate to work with Sue on content creation and as a thought leader for several years. She is responsive, understanding, and dedicated — always leading with a positive, friendly demeanor. Sue is extremely thoughtful in her creation of content; she has amassed critical insight into the challenges with and opportunities for technology in healthcare. With that, she is able to create deep, comprehensive pieces with strong editorial stances that help provide a unique perspective on market trends and responding strategies. She is extremely quick with turnaround on outlines, drafts, edits, and final pieces — a must for any fast-paced organization, like ours. Sue’s background as a practicing nurse has provided her with a unique perspective on the industry and its stakeholders. With that keen experience, Sue can offer credible guidance to both emerging and solidified players in healthcare. Sue is a wonderful partner, a gracious and kind person, and a savvy-industry voice.”

Ashley Rae Needham Director, Corporate Initiatives Validic (2016)

“Maybe once in a writing career you end up working with an editor who nurtures your individual style, who coaxes the writer out of you as a potter spins clay. Sue Montgomery is one of those rare editors. Editing is about so much more than misspelled words and misplaced commas. Good editing involves finding writers and helping them grow into their voices. I dare you to work with Sue: you’ll never be the same.”

Jenn Lonzer, MA, Communication Manager, Content & Creative Services Cleveland Clinic (2019)

“Sue is one of the best writers I’ve ever worked with. Her skill in helping me craft a message that connects and has impact keeps me coming back for more. She is professional, fast, cost-effective, and engaged at every step. She seeks to truly understand, and her technical breadth and connections are inspiring as well. It is not the job of a writer or editor to educate their client, yet Sue did that for me many times, bringing new ideas and content to my writing that helped make it more understandable and impactful. I would recommend Sue for any professional seeking help to ensure that your message connects and gets results.”

David C. Robinson, Entrepreneur, Angel Investor Manager at Intermodal Structures LLC (2016)

“We hired Sue to help us develop marketing content for our new business. Sue exceeded our expectations, not once, but on each project that we have worked with her on. From inception, to completion, she has been nothing but highly professional and personable and shown incredible talent and integrity. She is a rare find – one that we certainly hope to continue a long-term partnership with!”

Jennifer Brenner, OD, FAAO, Patient Centered Eye Care

Writing Samples

I’ve written a great deal of content for clients during my years as a freelancer. However, much of that has been within a ghostwriting framework. Although I’m not able to include those samples, I can share the following.

Hospice & Palliative Care

I’m a former hospice nurse and have also either authored or co-authored 11 online courses for California State University's Shiley Institute for Palliative Care (now the Shiley Haynes Institute for Palliative Care).

Many years ago, I helped to create practice certification exams for Tests.com, which have since been updated with additional expert authors:
