ABOUT US According to a 2003 study by the American Medical Association
Not only does that statistic provide some interesting dialogue, it, along with some personal experiences, were the catalyst for Hometown Health TV, LLC and the source of the Hometown Health slogan, “Good Things for Those Who Wait.”
With the support of some visionary physicians, Hometown Health launched in March, 2009 with a two-fold objective. First, help create a more valuable and dynamic waiting room experience for patients by providing education, information and entertainment. Second, develop a specialty-exclusive, cost-effective video and web platform for area physicians and healthcare professionals to create more loyalty and trust with existing patients by sharing their expertise on health issues while introducing themselves to potentially new patients watching the video network in their peers’ offices.
“Hometown Health was developed with the intention of creating a better patient experience while allowing medical professionals a new forum for introducing themselves to prospective new clients,” said Marc Robertz-Schwartz, president of Hometown Health TV, LLC. “Viewers receive valuable insight on a wide variety of health-related issues from local medical experts and they’ll likely see familiar faces and places as we incorporate the local community into our monthly episodes.”
Hometown Health is complimented with a web site, www.YourHometownHealth.com, which includes access to all of the content featured in the video program as well as profiles of the participating medical professionals and support content.
