marketing in healthcare 3

/in /by

According to Grano (2017), “unlike many marketing disciplines, professional healthcare marketers have a unique opportunity that extends beyond traditional marketing strategies and tactics. Healthcare marketing communications campaigns may very well change – or even save – a life.” As a health care professional, it is extremely important to have a notable understanding of marketing trends and challenges (or problems), as this is a key driver of the health of your organization.
