University Hospitals Finding New Value Through Innovation

Innovare Charging Solutions Installed to Support UH Cleveland Medical Center Patients and Families

As one of the nation’s leading healthcare systems, University Hospitals is continually seeking innovative ways to effectively educate patients, visitors, and employees about our hospital services. Through this unique partnership with Innovare, we believe we have found a highly effective communication vehicle that will not only allow us to share important news about the hospital’s programs and services but will also provide an attractive marketing platform for our business partners and friends.

Innovare has installed new digital charging solutions to support marketing and patient experience at UH in key waiting areas on campus. This impactful digital display technology will feature UH marketing content and creative advertising campaigns by hospital-approved businesses.

Westchester Community College Values Hospital Placed Media

Debbie Pizzino, Media Director at THOMPSON & BENDER, was able to answer some questions about her clients, Westchester Community College, media objectives with Hospital Placed Media.

1. Westchester Community College has been a client of Innovare Medical Media since 2020 and continues to invest in Hospital Placed Media (HPM) – what has been your experience?

SUNY-WCC is partnering with Innovare to build awareness of the many healthcare courses and workforce development programs offered at the college. Exposure in the identified locations/hospitals provides reach in key target markets.

2. Hospital Placed Media presents a valuable audience, including high household income, age, and education demographics. What is the marketing strategy for SUNY-WCC when targeting patients, visitors and/or healthcare professionals?

The marketing strategy is to ultimately grow enrollment at SUNY-WCC. HPM delivers a very targeted audience, allowing us to reach our core demographic in a relevant atmosphere when they are most likely to think about a healthcare-related career/opportunity.

3. By investing in HPM in 4 hospitals, WCC’s campaign gets over 10 million annual impressions from a highly valuable audience. What do you want this audience to know?

SUNY WCC wants the target audience to know about the healthcare course opportunities available at the college.

4. What has your experience been like working with the Innovare Medical Media team?

Our experience has been great working with the Innovare Medical Media team. Outreach and response have been strong and efficient. The team has been extremely nice and are easy to work with.

 

Get out and Play! – National Play Catch Week!

Innovare teamed up with The Play Catch Movement to promote the benefits of playing catch to improve the welfare of children and the quality of life for adults through the game of catch.

National Play Catch Week 2022 is June 19 – 25 and this initiative is being featured in over 140 digital platforms across Innovare’s hospital partners, nation-wide. This content is encouraging everyone to enjoy the positive impact the game of catch can have on ourselves and others. Hall of Fame pitcher and St. Luke’s University Health Network Community Ambassador, Steve Carlton also got on the campaign and he knows a few things about playing catch!

National Play Catch Week is a great time to enjoy the green grass, summer sun, and have fun playing catch. George Bernard Shaw said it best, “We do not stop playing (catch) because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing (catch).” Maybe he had catch in mind when he made such a profound statement; either way, playing catch can help everyone, from young children to seniors. The Play Catch Movement is created to help encourage, inspire, and motivate everyone to never grow old. Learn more about The Play Catch Movement at https://www.playcatchmovement.org/home

St. Luke’s 150 years

Transforming Medicine. Reimagining Care.

The 150-year history of St. Luke’s University Health Network started as a Pennsylvania steel community united behind a single purpose: to bring big-city, state-of-the-art medicine to its people. St. Luke’s was chartered as a hospital in 1872 and opened its doors to its very first patient soon thereafter. As the area’s first hospital, St. Luke’s has been providing cost-effective and high-quality care to patients, regardless of their ability to pay, for 150 years. #StLukes150

Innovare is happy to have contributed approximately $500,000 in revenue to support St. Luke’s and has been a proud partner since 2012. Over the coming years, Innovare looks forward to delivering innovation across the network.

Negro Leagues Baseball Museum’s “Free February Admission”

As written by Stann Tate, Marketing Director, Menorah Medical Center and Tournament Director, NLBM Summer Classic

Innovare Media is not just a great business partner, they’re a wonderful steward of our community and the programs we support at Menorah Medical Center. Innovare is allowing us to promote the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum’s “Free February Admission” message (through their digital displays at our hospital). They not only provide us with great technology for messaging, they truly care about us as a client and help us get behind what matters in our community.

Menorah Medical Center has been a proud partner with Innovare Media for several years now. Their CEO, Michael Ricciardi,  recently asked us how they could support our community engagement programs. As a volunteer with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, I am always looking for ways to create awareness of the Museum. Innovare graciously included the NLBM’s “Free February Admission” program on the digital display screens at our hospital. It’s one thing to have a business partner to provide you with great service on what your agreement states, but to have them get involved in your community engagement initiatives is something I never expected. This is why we continue to work with the outstanding team and leaders at Innovare Media, they truly care about their clients like friends and family.
