Book Description
Whether you’re a chiropractor, medical doctor, massage therapist, veterinarian, acupuncturist, or any other provider of a healing art, you’ve undergone intensive training and developed valuable skills. However, traditional healthcare curricula may not address the critical areas of business, finance and marketing. Proficiency in these skills – especially marketing – can help your practice succeed and allow you to genuinely connect with your communities. Written by a healthcare professional for healthcare professionals, Community Connections is the first in a series of books designed to bridge the gap between what you're taught in school and how to market a practice in the real world. Using this collection of easy and affordable marketing ideas, any independent healthcare provider can forge a strong and genuine connection with potential clients, regardless of any previous marketing experience. This guide is all about building the unique relationship between a healthcare provider and the local community, while respecting the specific professional and legal issues inherent in that relationship. Whether you’re a veteran in the healthcare industry or just getting started, Community Connections contains the valuable advice and practical marketing ideas you need—from the reasons most healthcare practices don’t “market,” to gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and your community at large. Discover how implementing easy and affordable marketing activities can expand the success of your healthcare practice.
