Increase Your Revenue. | What's Love Got to Do with it?

Tap into a $500 Billion Market Today

Healthcare's Challenge
The healthcare industry faces tremendous economic challenges. Low margins, rising costs and downward pressure on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements continue to drive increasing losses. Also, consumers are becoming more wellness-focused and proactive in managing their healthcare, turning to alternative sources for information and services such as the Internet and health clinics opening in supermarkets and big-box retailers. To remain competitive, hospitals and healthcare systems must begin incorporating strategies used by major retailers to draw, maintain and build customer loyalty in order to drive new sources of revenue.

The Power of Healthcare Retail
The sale of healthcare-related products and services generates over $500 billion annually and is expected to reach $1 trillion dollars by 2015. This market represents a highly profitable and stable source of revenue for healthcare systems, unaffected by the vagaries of reimbursement rates. Implementing a targeted healthcare retail strategy today will not only put you in a superior position to capture revenue from this growing market, it will help build sustainable patient loyalty—both vital to your future financial health.

What is the Healthcare Retail '08 Conference?
The Healthcare Retail '08 Conference, sponsored by The Paquin Group and major industry leaders, is a two-day, innovative educational opportunity that will open your eyes to the power of healthcare retail at your institution.

• Day One will focus on the healthcare retail industry's hottest topics. Presentations from industry-leading strategists such as Alicia Ledlie, Senior Director of Development for Wal-Mart's healthcare retail initiatives, Tanya Abreu, President of Spirit of Women, and top healthcare futurist Tony Paquin, CEO of The Paquin Group, will provide valuable insight on capitalizing on the rapidly growing healthcare retail marketplace.


• Day Two provides attendees unique access to conference presenters and guests through small, interactive conferences that enable you to explore in greater depth the value of their healthcare retail business models and strategies. You will learn about their relationships with healthcare organizations and how to implement effective partnerships with them. You will also have ample opportunities to ask questions and to schedule private meetings with them to further your discussions.

Who Should Attend?
The Healthcare Retail '08 Conference is an absolute must for any hospital or healthcare organization considering or currently implementing a retail strategy. For best results, send several of your senior officers and retail management staff. Sessions will cover implementation and operational strategies useful for CEOs, CFOs, Vice Presidents of Business Development and front-line managers.

You'll also have the opportunity to discuss daily topics and develop plans to include retail strategies for your institutions, plus learn how healthcare retail can be an integral part of maximizing your ROI.

What's LOVE Got to do with it?
Take a brand away and people will find a replacement. Take a "Lovebrand" away and people will protest its absence. We will feature special presentations on this revolutionary concept that explains how brands, including your healthcare system, can transcend traditional boundaries to become hallmarks of consumer inspiration, respect and loyalty.
