The New Patient Market
Consumerism is alive and well in healthcare. Patients are relying more on their own research and comparison shopping than on referrals to identify providers they want to hire. That makes patient experience a high priority. Consumers are also highly interested in whole health and having agency over their outcomes, knowing they have hope and control when diagnosed with a chronic illness.
Certification in lifestyle medicine provides a new way to market the care you provide and attract a loyal, satisfied patient base.
