Striking the Right Tone in Healthcare Marketing
Tales of medical professionals going above and beyond is nothing new. But in uncertain times, this story from our client Valley View Hospital was needed more than we could say.
With impending supply shortages, the need for PPE, or Personal Protective Equipment, was top of mind. Valley View Hospital, like most across the country, faced an urgent need to protect team members on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Understanding the correlation between feeling protected and doing the best job possible, the nurses at Valley View Hospital sprung into action.
Gathering material used to wrap surgical instruments, and some pipe cleaners for support, they put sewing machines to use and continued producing protective masks for the team.
This was a story deserving of recognition, and as a top healthcare marketing agency, COHN got to work.
Pulling from our expertise in healthcare public relations, we acted fast to secure coverage in some of the top media affiliates here in Colorado and across the country.
