The 2025 Content Benchmarks Report: Healthcare

Social is where your patients and community are, and where they seek out health advice—for better or for worse. Platforms are becoming saturated with misinformation, and healthcare organizations have an important role to play—if they can cut through the noise.

The 2025 Healthcare Content Benchmarks Report offers a glimpse into performance trends across networks, the types of content and engagement audiences crave today, and what that means for the year ahead.

Through an analysis of more than 3 billion messages from over 1 million public social profiles—and consumer surveys from across the US, UK and Australia—we’ve compiled all the insights you need to shape a social content strategy that builds trust with your audience.

How to use this research

Contextualize your performance

Explore our social publishing and engagement benchmarks from the healthcare industry to help you understand how your approach stacks up. Use these insights to compare performance against direct and indirect competitors, and set realistic goals with leadership.

Craft content that can’t be ignored

Social media content saturation is at an all-time high. Posting for the sake of posting isn’t enough to capture attention. We share data on the content qualities audiences say make brands stand out, and profile healthcare brands whose content stands apart for all the right reasons.

Lean into community engagement

Consumers want to be listened to. Community building is equally (if not more) important than content creation when it comes to securing trust and combating misinformation on social. Use these insights to calibrate an engagement strategy that exceeds expectations.
