The Health Care Marketer’s Post-Pandemic World

Who remembers Stretch Armstrong? He was the muscular, gel-filled action figure toy who could stretch from his original size of 15 inches to 4 or 5 feet and then bounce back again. That’s how one of our three guest panelists, Kelly Meigs from Tanner Health in Georgia, described how her health care marketing team has been operating since the COVID-19 pandemic began. The metaphor quite possibly describes how most of us feel about now. 

So, take a minute to relax back to your original shape and watch this Campfire all about what’s next for health care marketers. Hear how guests from three distinct markets—Illinois, Nevada and Georgia—are stretching their way into 2021. 

Explore health care marketing topics that include:

  • Engaging patient-consumers—what strategies are working?
  • Revenue recovery—how to get patients back in for care.
  • Planning vs. doing—how to manage daily to-dos and long-range planning.
  • Community vigilance as COVID numbers drop—encouraging medical workers to get vaccinated.
  • Being the trusted health news source.
