• Ensure patient education initiatives, physician-facing materials, and in-clinic communications reflect both clinical accuracy and Spring's patient experience standards. 

• Gather clinical and provider input on patient needs, common questions, and journey friction points, and translate those insights into marketing and content priorities. 

• Develop and manage patient engagement programs that support patients across key moments in their journey, improve connection to Spring’s education and community offerings, and create scalable opportunities for ongoing communication, event participation, and local market activation. 
• Develop and operationalize a patient ambassador program that elevates authentic patient stories, strengthens community connection, and supports education, events, and local market engagement. 
• Directly manage Spring’s Community Manager, setting priorities and providing day-to-day guidance for community building, local partner activation, and patient-facing engagement initiatives.
