Health Care SIG

Nashville’s largest industry, health care, increasingly receives recognition for the critical role it plays in the region’s economy. With hundreds of health care marketers working in Nashville, NAMA’s Health Care SIG serves a large chunk of our marketing community.  Please contact Karen Stone , the Health Care SIG chair at karen.stone@CatalystHCR.com, with questions or to get involved.

In our final Healthcare SIG of the season, we’ll explore the impact the patient experience paradigm shift is having on health care companies at every stage along the continuum of care.  Marketing Perspectives: The Patient Experience along the Continuum of Care: Wednesday, June 8, 2011.

Moderated by Brad Dodge, president and CEO of Dodge Communications – a full-service health care marketing and public relations agency – we’ll hear Rebecca Larger of Leon Medical Centers and Tommy Lewis of Emdeon discuss how their companies have adapted their business models to turn patient-centered care into a marketable – and profitable – venture.  This in-depth discussion will be followed by Q & A.
