access healthAccess Health CT, Connecticut's successful health insurance exchange, is on the hunt for PR support to burnish its image and provide crisis communications counsel.

The exchange, set up in 2010 and state-run under the Affordable Care Act, released an RFP on Aug. 19 for firms well-versed in healthcare, knowledge of the political climate in Connecticut and Washington, and familiarity with the state's community organizations. Releases and other materials must be developed in English and Spanish.

The exchange previously worked with Global Straegy Group on the PR front and Pappas MacDonnell for public affairs.

Proposals are due September 16. View the RFP (PDF).
