When The University of Kansas Health System commissioned me to write a book about its transformation from lowest-ranked to among the very highest-scoring hospitals in America, I was directed to Jill Chadwick again and again for advice and insight into this story. As busy as she was, Jill always found time to respond quickly and expertly to everything I brought to her. Jill is the silver bullet—and has the awards to prove it.

As a former VP of one of the largest PR agencies, I’ve worked with several communications professionals around the world. I can honestly say that Jill is one of the most strategic, results-oriented consultants I’ve ever encountered. Her ability to look at big-picture goals while focusing on the near-term needs is really appreciated. She has a diverse set of communications skills that have proven extremely valuable as she provides solid counsel for a variety of situations.

Jill is a phenomenal media partner. She is incredibly responsive and a clear communicator. If she can’t help with a project, she often figures out the next best step for a journalist. This means we turn to her first in breaking news and value her insight on in-depth reports. Jill knows how to quickly adapt as information needs change. She led COVID-19 coverage in our market and created a daily news briefing with doctors and specialists. This made The University of Kansas Hospital the dominant voice on coronavirus.

There is simply not a better ally and advocate for your organization than Jill. Recently, my university faced a public relations situation that we had never encountered, and we knew we needed someone with Jill’s background and expertise to help us navigate. Jill’s focus was always the care of our students and not just how to “spin” a story. Her unwavering guidance on being clear and kind was invaluable to our institution. With her support, we were able to address multiple audiences and prioritize the care and well-being of students. Her years of experience and expertise, her commitment to equitable solutions, and her professional courage all ensure she is our first call every time. She remains a highly trusted advisor to the President.
