This practical book covers everything from understanding healthcare markets to marketing techniques to supporting the marketing effort.

"A must-read for anyone new to healthcare or healthcare marketing. This book is also a great resource for those already working in the field!" - Bill Gombeski, Administrative Director, Marketing and Communications Department, Yale-New Haven Health System and Hospital

Public relations, advertising, and marketing departments have staff, budgets, and the responsibility of contributing to the bottom line, just like any other department. Although it took the concept of marketing decades to take hold in the healthcare industry, it has now become an integral part of any healthcare organization's success. Click here to view the table of contents, or here to view the preface.
