Marketing & Media Updates
Wendy McClain
Director of Marketing
You may have seen or heard recently our ER Promise campaign. This campaign focuses on introducing to our community the real people that work in our emergency department and their individual promises to the patients they meet every day. Their promises are truly their own, the physicians and staff were not scripted, which I love! We are keeping it real with our community and differentiating West Valley as a place where people can count on personalized care from the heart. See for yourself, ER promises in their own words:
Our ER Promise: Amber, Brittany, Liane, Dr. Moss
Our ER Promise: Taylor, Amy, Dr. Gold
Our ER Promise: Stacey, Rachelle, Dr. Dixon

How you can help …
We are in a culture that depends so much on online reviews when choosing a healthcare facility. Encourage those you interact with to share their positive patient experiences by writing an online review on Facebook, Google or Yelp. Asking your patients to share their stories online as it lets others know what to expect from us as a healthcare provider.
You can also become a part of our online community! It speaks volumes to have our medical staff share our stories on social media with their friends and family.
