E-mail message this week .. Health Fairs This is the time of year we need to contact our corporate and municipal neighbors to participate with their Health and Wellness Fairs or assist in creating one. A health fair is a time set aside for employees to either discuss and/or be screened for various health and wellness issues by local professionals. There is no better method of attracting new patients then meeting them face to face or spine by spine. Step one is to determine the potential locations. During my marketing and public relations seminar classes .. I go over creating a marketing farm. This is a five or ten mile radius surrounding your office. Within this area you will plant your seeds and cultivate the pending crop of community activities and new patients. Contact the corporations or local companies to determine if they have planned health fairs. The script can go like this .. "this is Melanie from the Family Chiropractic Center. We were wondering if you offer your employees proactive programs such as a Health and Wellness Fair during this time of year and if so .. if we can participate." This is a start. If they say yes .. try to get on board. You can go offer a stress and posture screening or just have a table and offer information and advice. Just be there. If they do not have a program but seem to be interested .. offer your services to organize one. To establish a network of professionals for Community Health and Wellness Fairs is a double win for you. Take this opportunity to introduce yourself to some allied healthcare professionals and take the lead with community advocacy. This is the time to learn of some conservative and pro chiropractic medical physicians and others. Often your patients is a great resource for professional referrals and a phone call or two to some local doctors may find some anxious to join you. A dentist .. optometrist .. podiatrist .. family physician as well as a hospital community relations staff just to begin with. If a corporation or company thinks the idea is great but have no group to call on with relish at your assistance and probably have you back for various ergonomic and wellness programs. The script could go like this .. "this is Melanie from Dr. Margolies¼ office. We wish to add a new member to our community health fair group and thought Dr. Jones or a staff representative would like to participate. We are a chiropractic office and recently was asked to participate in a number of Health and Wellness Fairs. This is a great opportunity to introduce your office and answer many of health and wellness questions." You can play with this and answer any questions they may have but gathering the team will be less difficult than you think. There are nurse practitioners or physician assistants that may participate with cholesterol and blood pressure check ups .. plastic surgeons to present their best image .. hospital representatives to introduce their services .. massage therapists to knead the pressure out .. and the best spot is obviously saved for and by syou. So .. get busy. Find the locations .. make the phone calls .. gather a team .. reap the rewards .. good neighbor policy .. increased awareness for referrals .. new patients.
