Situation: In addition to their inpatient facilities, this 24-bed, JCAHO-accredited geriatric behavioral health hospital was developing an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). They needed someone to market to the local nursing facilities, doctor’s offices and hospitals, as well as to area seniors and other adults 18+. The situation was all the more challenging as the hospital only took Medicare—not any private insurance or supplemental plans. This eliminated many potential referrals. Action: To meet these needs, I reached out into the community and worked to:
- Personally meet with hundreds of prospective patients and their families.
- Initiate and maintain relationships with over 450 area medical and governmental entities, area churches and other community organizations as potential referral sources.
- Host dozens of informational breakfasts and luncheons to educate the professional community and general public as to the benefits of the Intensive Outpatient Program.
