University Medical Imaging

University Medical Imaging is an affiliate of the University of Rochester Medical Center and this is significant for two reasons:

(1) it allows for access to the latest research but being privately owned gives it the flexibility to respond to patient needs and (2) it is often confused with University Imaging which is wholly owned by URMC.

In addition, the market was changing. Our audiences were focusing on safety as well as the patient experience. The current brand identity was all about technology. Technology was still an important factor, just not the most important. UMI was looking for an identity that could embrace all these elements while making them look contemporary and in a leading-edge position.

The Marketing Collaborative interviewed UMI radiologists, staff, and those close to patients. A key finding was that referring office staff was making the decision more often than the physician. They often chose a radiology site based on convenience for them and the patient. We needed to increase their awareness of the staff available to make their lives easier as well as the importance of the medical expertise available at UMI.

We also uncovered a true point of difference for patients — UMI strives to make each patient experience a comfortable one, tailored to their needs. No two patients are alike, nor two exams. They are treated as individuals.

With that in mind, we set out to create a marketing initiative that reflected their new value proposition.

Key Marketing Elements

Create a new Brand Identity including a logo and positioning line that reflected their culture.

Bringing their brand alive on their website by featuring their staff as well as physicians. Unlike other patients/doctor visits, radiology patients don’t meet their radiologists, therefore causing much confusion as to who is the radiologist, what they do, and the importance of their expertise.

They invested in new photography and bios that balanced their professional expertise while capturing their personalities. And we extend that brand to all marketing materials – letterhead, business cards, signage, brochure, radiologist inserts, bios, and advertising.

Building physician practices

Health centers have many of the same challenges...

Lakeside Healthcare Systems

Lakeside, located in Brockport, NY, is a small community hospital with 100+ beds. They had recently hired a new CEO and physicians that changed the face of the health system. They soon realized that public perception and the reality of what they had to offer was distinctly different. That’s when The Marketing Collaborative stepped in and took those assets and made them visible to the outside world.

Fairport Baptist Homes

Fairport Baptist Homes is 100+ years old and well known as “the nursing home on the hill.” Like many senior living facilities, this organization has evolved with the times to offer seniors the ability to stay home safely, rehabilitation when they’ve been injured or had a hospital stay and aren’t ready to go home, or want to live with other seniors in a variety of housing options — assisted living, skilled nursing, and independent housing.

Why my mother and many leaders are confused about healthcare marketing.

As a healthcare marketing consultant (or CMO for hire), I’m asked the same questions about marketing consistently and it’s clear that there are many misconceptions about my profession. From CEO’s to my mother, there is truly a fundamental lack of understanding of what marketing is and can accomplish. So, I began asking clients and colleagues in this space why this might be.
