How to Turn Your Existing Crisis Communication Plan into a Living, Helpful, Easy-to-Use Document
by Catherine Morris and Ashley Johnson
In 2021, Kettering Health had to acknowledge the irony of not having capacity to update their crisis communication plan because they were too busy doing COVID crisis communication. The leaders understood the importance of having a strategic response but no time to assemble an actionable, easy-to-implement plan. They needed an assist.
This session will explain the collaborative process of transforming the health system’s existing crisis communication plan into a living, easily edited document.

In the healthcare industry, moving from a traditional marketing approach to a digital-focused approach is not without its challenges.

For this reason, Logansport Memorial Hospital continues to develop and redefine the scope of its digital marketing efforts, one campaign at a time. For pregnant women and new mothers in the communities they serve, Logansport implemented a new digital approach with inbound marketing to connect patients to services in meaningful, personalized ways. The approach has translated into greater awareness, deeper engagement, and a broader market share of OB services in their region.
