DETROIT, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Communications and marketing
professionals will learn how to restore an organization's healthy image at the
Wednesday, Nov. 10 luncheon featuring Richard T. Cole, Ph.D., Executive Vice
President and Chief Administrative Officer, Detroit Medical Center.
WHO: Richard T. Cole, Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief
Administrative Officer
WHAT: IABC/Detroit hosts Richard T. Cole, Ph.D. of the DMC for a
lunchtime program on the anatomy of a turnaround. Cole explains how increased
competition, rising costs and a drop in patient satisfaction could have meant
a grim diagnosis for the DMC. Instead, the DMC uses strategic marketing and
communications as part of its plan to restore the organization's healthy
image. Cole will provide examples from the plan to illustrate how the DMC
story can help your organization meet its communication and business
objectives.
WHY: Learn first-hand how the largest health care provider in southeast
Michigan, the Detroit Medical Center (DMC), improves their own organization's
health at this special on-site luncheon. The DMC operates seven hospitals
(Children's Hospital of Michigan, Detroit Receiving, Harper, Huron Valley-
Sinai, Hutzel, the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan and Sinai-Grace
Hospital), two nursing centers and more than 100 outpatient facilities
throughout southeast Michigan and is affiliated with the Barbara Ann Karmanos
Cancer Institute.
