The Challenge
Community hospital was facing expanded competition from tertiary hospitals. Many consumers perceived the need to travel to "downtown" tertiary hospitals for treatment of complex cases.
The Solution
Multi-faceted campaign was developed featuring advanced procedures, latest technology and top-notch physicians. Components included: TV, radio, print, web, PR, direct mail, community outreach and detailing efforts to referring physicians.
The Results
The perception among consumers of St. Mary's ability to handle complex procedures skyrocketed from 38% to 47% in just the first six months of the campaign.
Long-term client results show inpatient volume growth of 25% and outpatient volume growth of 52% while working in tandem with BeaconFey.
