What you’re up against . . .
When promoting a hospital or health system, it’s hard to know where to start or if what you’re doing is actually working. Healthcare is unlike any other industry, product, or service out there.
Not only are you promoting a place or experience that most people hope to avoid, but the success of your efforts isn’t always evident. You’re not selling one tangible item with a price tag. You’re promoting quality, you’re creating a buzz, and you’re also facing numerous challenges inside your organization as well. To attract consumers, marketers must learn a whole new set of rules.

Let’s face it, no book about marketing hospitals and health systems—one of the most challenging, complicated, and constantly evolving tasks a marketer will ever face— could ever really be “complete.” But this book comes pretty close.
