Naviant, a recognized leader in intelligent automation and AI process consulting dedicated to helping organizations across healthcare, government, insurance, and commercial sectors reimagine work, today announced that Michael Campana, CMO of Naviant, has been named the winner of the 2026 Swaay.Health Award for Article of the Year. The award was presented live at the annual Swaay.Health LIVE event in Foxboro, MA.
The Swaay.Health Awards celebrate the achievements, excellence, and creativity of healthcare marketers, PR professionals, communications leaders, and patient experience advocates nationwide.
Michael was recognized specifically for his article “A Father’s Grief, a Professional’s Hope,” which won Article of the Year for its powerful blend of personal loss and professional advocacy. In his article, Michael made the case that AI, intelligent automation, and strong governance are essential safeguards against the systemic failures that cost patients their lives, protect overburdened clinicians from the consequences of preventable errors, and give healthcare organizations the accountability infrastructure they need to deliver the care they intended to give.
Naviant President and CEO, Michael Carr, said, “At Naviant, we believe intelligent automation and AI should empower clinicians to focus on what they do best: caring for patients. Behind every workflow is a patient who deserves quality care and a clinician who wants to deliver it. Michael’s article captures that mission with real clarity, and to see it recognized by the industry means a great deal to our entire team.”
The 2026 awards program was highly competitive, making the recognition particularly meaningful.
“At a time when marketing and patient experience budgets are being cut, it’s more important than ever for us to highlight the incredibly talented people, teams, content, and campaigns in healthcare that stood out over the past twelve months,” said Colin Hung, Editor-in-Chief at Swaay.Health. “Winning a Swaay.Health Award is no small feat. We received hundreds of high-quality nominations. This year’s winners were truly the best of the best.”
“Swaay.Health has always been about lifting each other up,” explained John Lynn, founder of Swaay.Health. “We feel it is our duty to share the good work being done by others so that we can all learn. The 2026 winners are inspiring. They are not letting the economic uncertainty hold them back. We need more of that!”
