To help concierge medical physicians appeal to the growing Millennial generation, Specialdocs offers these four additional tips:
- Offer development of a preventive health plan. Many Millennials care about their physical fitness and want to establish healthy eating habits.* Partner with them to create a comprehensive plan for preventive care that will focus on their wellness for years to come.
- Demonstrate how your practice prioritizes personalized care. During the selection process, Millennials are swayed by brands that will go the extra mile to engage with them.* Show that you and your staff will greet them by name, remember important life milestones and maintain a comfortable, friendly office space.
- Tell your story. Millennials want to connect and be active participants in a brand story they believe in.* In addition to emphasizing the difference personalized care can make in their lives, share the personal and professional reasons that sparked your decision to practice concierge medicine.
- Post patient testimonials prominently on your website. The power of a personal endorsement is particularly strong among Millennials who tap into their network of friends for advice on everything from restaurant recommendations to the best local physicians.
