s 2004 wound to a close, so did
the 14-month campaign by
Rush University Medical Center,
Chicago. Storandt Pann-Margolis,
La Grange, Ill., (SPM) played a
creative role in the campaign,
which started in October 2003 and
was designed to promote Rush’s
physicians and nurses and raise
awareness of the medical center’s
research and clinical strength.
Remarkably, the effort resulted in
triple the number of phone calls
and physician referrals. Sara Stern,
associate vice president marketing and
communications,
said the biggest
surprise was an
increase of more
than five-fold in
queries to the
medical center’s
“Find-A-Doctor”
website page.
Most importantly,
Stern said, “This is
truly an integrated
marketing communications campaign.”
It included establishing a new name
for the medical center and
promoting the brand, as well as
installing new signage, revising the
web site, developing a public rela-
tions strategy, developing internal
communication, advertising in
mass media and training frontline
personnel to handle the increased
business.
By way of background: the
medical center was formerly called
Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke’s
Medical Center. Despite its
confusing name, it enjoyed wide
recognition and was considered by
many as the premier academic
medical center in Chicago.
However, Chicago
was home to four
other academic
medical centers. As
they increased their
marketing efforts,
Rush was losing
some of its status.
RUMC conducted
a strategic analysis
to determine which
strengths should be
emphasized in a
marketing
campaign. Stern
said, “The doctors
and nurses consistently talked about
the passion they
have for their work,
and also about the compassion
they have for their patients. The

MGH opens New England’s largest ambulatory facility
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Boston, and its community
health centers currently handle more 1.5 million outpatient and emergency visits a year. Many of these will now be served in the 10-story, $219
million outpatient facility opened by MGH Oct. 13. Named The Yawkey
Center for Outpatient Care, the distinctive glass and steel facility, with its
six-level, 725-space underground garage, is the largest ambulatory facility
in New England. It will contain The MassGeneral Hospital for Children, the
Musculoskeletal Program, Cardiology Program, Women’s Health and MGH
Radiology, The MGH Cancer Center and the MGH In Vitro Fertilization

doctors see themselves as advocates for the patients.” She
observed another remarkable
finding: many of the physicians
made a point of acknowledging the
power of the nurses, and the way
they worked together.
The most common comment of
the physicians when they summarized their views of the medical
center was “It’s how medicine
should be.” This became the
theme for the present campaign.
Previously, Rush had not used
television commercials, but for this
effort, it sponsored four TV spots,
focusing in turn on the heart,
cancer, orthopedics and neurology
service lines. Stern calls TV “the
medium that’s the most powerful.”
Physicians went on-camera for the
documentary-style presentations,
sharing their awe for the remarkable work done at the hospital.
“The best part of my day is when I
can tell a patient they’re cured,”
said orthopedic surgeon Walt
Viscus. Dr. Cerullo said, “There’s a
group of people thinking—going to
bat for you.”
The radio spots, like the TV
commercials, emphasized Rush’s
unique offerings. For example, “a

maker…” “gene therapy to stimulate the growth of new blood
vessels…” “the world’s first minimally invasive hip replacement,”
and, “a self-lengthening implant
(for) children with bone cancer.”
As the marketing proceeded,
Rush implemented a unique
“mystery shopper’ program to test
the “patient experience.” Stern said
many of the mystery shoppers
were Rush medical students. The
value of the program was doubled,
providing not only information for
hospital administration but also
insight and empathy for future
physicians.
The reactions of staff members
to the campaign were measured by
“many tools,” Stern said, including
online exchanges, comments at
meetings, and written surveys. One
survey was assured of results by
being included as part of a benefits
survey.
Overall, physicians and employees have a very positive reaction
to the campaign. Perhaps it’s not
coincidental that the medical
center is experiencing the highest
patient satisfaction scores in its
history.
Rush and SPM are currently
casting for the 2005 TV commercials. Physicians are showing a
great deal of interest, Stern said.
Next year’s campaign will promote
additional service lines. n
All four TV spots in this campaign were made both in 60second and 30-second versions. The web site home page is
shown here; its “Find-a-Doctor” page saw a five-fold increase in
visits after the campaign.

Colorful specialty brochures part of Medical City
brand awareness marketing
By Judith D. Botvin
edical City, Dallas, has been
using a series of specialty
brochures since its new branding
program in 2003. These brochures
continue the brand awareness for
the hospital’s Centers of
Excellence and specialty areas.
Carol Ansley, VP of business
development, said all the information in each brochure is also found
on the web site, for people who
don’t have an actual copy.
A sampling of six specialty
brochures reveals an emphasis on
new technologies and specialized
procedures. For example, the eightpanel brochure for Medical City
Heart has a listing of Innovations
and Milestones that includes:
“Transplanted 250th heart in
February of 2004” and “Placed first
FDA-approved drug-eluting stent in
North Texas in 2003.” A photo of a
M
8
baby illustrates “the only program
in Dallas with cardiovascular
specialists who treat congenital
heart disease in both adult and
pediatric patients.”
Ansley said that in addition to
the branding initiative, multi media
campaigns have been conducted
for the Heart and Women’s centers.
The gamut of media: billboards,
television, print ads, direct mail
and radio will gradually be used for
all the Centers of Excellence.
A&D Thinktank, Dallas, Medical
City’s agency of record, is a major
player in the development of these
brochures.
Each brochure begins with inspirational copy before offering its
plentiful factual information. For
example, one begins: The Transplant Center at Medical City is as
miraculous and sophisticated as
the human body itself. Each part of
the center, no matter how complex, works with the others in
harmony. The result is a living,
breathing testament to the power
of leading-edge technology and the
human spirit.”
Each of the 5-inch by 8-inch
brochures is consistent in style,
using varied colors for differentiation. The heart brochure uses a
dark red, the transplant center
uses aqua, the cancer program
uses a bright green and the
women’s center uses rosy pink.
Each of these brochures uses eight
panels to provide the needed information. The Center for Epilepsy
(leaf green) and the Center for
Rehabilitation (soft blue) each
have six-panel brochures. They are
printed in full color on a strong,
glossy stock.
The specialty brochures are
distributed in the hopital, generally
at the locations related to the
particular services. Also, they are
found at the hospital’s visitor’s
center and information desk.
Ansley said that sometimes they
are used for direct mail, depending
on circumstances.
A 12-page booklet, the same size
as the above brochures, provides
an overview of “The Hospital of
Specialists.” Sporting a deep blue
cover, it summarizes the facts
about this unique 30-year old institution: more than 1,250 physicians
practicing more than 95 medical
specialties; patients from all over
the U.S., and 75 countries. It
asserts it is “the only hospital in
North Texas where a mother facing
a high-risk pregnancy can deliver

GW Hospital marketers used a humorous approach to carry an
important message in this 30-second television spot. “While prostate
cancer is never funny, we wanted to show the husband and wife in this
spot in a lighthearted moment after surgery. As if to say, ‘Whew, that’s
over…now we can laugh,” explained Maureen Ryan, communications
manager at GW Hospital.
The TV spot opens with the camera moving up an almost indistinguishable blue blanket. Soft jazz music is playing and you wonder if you’re in a
bedroom. Just then you hear a giggle, and the wife says, “It’s so little.” A
quick shot of the husband’s face shows that he’s ‘not amused.’ The next
shot is the wife with her head coming up from under the blanket at which
point she says, “The scar I mean.” The camera pulls back to show that
they are in a hospital room. They laugh, hold hands and share a lighthearted moment.

ANNCR: What does it mean to be at the
“Center of Caring?” For Sharon Hospital,
it’s meant being at the center of our
communities for over 95 years. Taking
care of neighbors, employing our citizens and supporting our region’s
economic health.
But it’s our employees that are the true
center…
EMPLOYEE QUOTES: “I know many of
the patients I see on a daily basis, like
many of us do. It’s like family…you build
a relationship with the patient.”
“I’ve worked at Sharon Hospital for 28
years…”
“We have a team that works unbelievably well together. You can almost anticipate each other’s moves.”
“We have a level of technology that is
almost unseen at the community
hospital level.”
“From the time the patient walks
through the door, until the time they go
home, it’s really important for you to go
out of your way to do the best that you
can. It makes you feel good at the end of
the day.”
ANNCR: Sharon Hospital: Proud to celebrate another year of caring for our
communities, proud to say…
EMPLOYEE QUOTES: “My name is
Kathy”… “my name is Mark”… “my
name is Pat”… “my name is Brenda, and
I’m at the center of caring.”

Market Notes
Hospital celebrates 700 years since founding
Nursing shortage continues despite support
Alexian Brothers Hospital Network, Arlington Heights,
Ill., celebrated the 700-year history of the congregation
of the Alexian Brothers with a special tribute called
“Ordinary Men, Extraordinary lives.” More than 200
people attended the event to celebrate the Alexian
Brothers mission and to support The Alexian Brothers
Hospital Network in its $352 million expansion program.
A study in the journal, Health Affairs, reveals that since
2001, the number of new nurses employed in hospitals
nationwide has grown by nearly 185,000, thanks in large
part to educational support from the private sector.
However, experts predict that the nation will still be
short 600,000 nurses by 2020. In the Sacramento, Calif.,
region, four health systems have spent more than $20
million in recent years on nurse education through direct
contributions to local schools, scholarships, loan forgiveness programs and other initiatives.
Well-known sportscaster raises funds for CHOP
Howard Eskin, host of Philadelphia’s SportsRadio 610
WIP, is raising money for local charities through a sale of
limited edition bobbleheads in his likeness. Last year,
Eskin created a weekly “fur-vor” by showing up at
Philadelphia Eagles football games wearing a different
fur coat each time—earning him the nickname, “King of
Bling.” All the buzz gave Eskin and Zinman Furs the idea
to team up to launch a charity initiative. Eskin said his
motivation to raise money for charity comes from his
sister, who lives with MS.
Patients raise $25 million to fight prostate cancer
A group of his former patients raised $25 million for
the Patrick C. Walsh Prostate Cancer Research Fund in
honor of Walsh, who is retiring as urologist in chief
and director of the Department of Urology and the
Brady Urological Institute at The Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore. The Walsh Fund will provide
support for research, equipment and laboratories
dealing with prostate cancer.
Exempla Lutheran plans free-standing hospice
Exempla Lutheran Medical Center (LMC), Wheat
Ridge, Colo., and the LMC Community Foundation, have
announced plans to raise $7.5 million for the first freestanding hospice in Colorado. The medical center
currently offers a nine-bed Hospice Inpatient Unit, but
has not been able to keep up with demand for inpatient
hospice care. The fund raising is expected to be
completed by the end of 2005.
Electric utility sends M.D. Anderson cards
Holiday cards supplied by the Children’s Art Project
(CAP) of The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center, Houston, were sent to the 1.6 million residential
customers of Reliant Energy, Houston, as part of a
$500,000 contribution made by Reliant. The electric
utility announced the donation to CAP, which raises
money for the treatment of children at the center. For 31
years, The Children’s Art Project has sold the original
art work of young cancer patients, funding more than
$18.5 million worth of programs for cancer patients and
their families. mdanderson.com
Baylor Health, Dallas, opens sports/ motion center
Baylor Health, Dallas, recently opened The Baylor
Motion & Sports Performance Center, the only one of its
kind in North Texas. Designed for both clinical investigation and sports performance assessment, the center
specializes in the analysis and interpretation of human
movement. The center uses advanced technology which
incorporates 12 high speed digital motion capture
cameras to record motion and create a three dimensional skeletal reconstruction of the person in action.
Patients that may benefit include those with cerebral
palsy, osteoarthritis, sports injury, stroke, amputations,
spinal cord or brain injury, and joint replacement.
