Community Health Network Engages Simply Retail

Indianapolis and Minneapolis (PRWEB) June 21, 2005

Community Health Network has engaged Simply Retail, the nation’s leader in healthcare retailing strategies, to perform a Retail Discovery identifying new retail opportunities that complement the consumer-oriented care model planned for the next evolution of Community’s North Campus. This study is focused on uncovering potential retail opportunities at Community Hospital North and The Indiana Heart Hospital to support first-and-foremost patient care and recovery programs.

Community Health Network will undergo the Retail Discovery led by a team of experts in all areas of healthcare, retail and store layout and design. This thorough examination of the hospital’s current retail position will enable Simply Retail to develop a blueprint for all of their recommended retail strategies.

Healthcare retailing enables hospitals to serve their communities more effectively by examining their retail needs,” Thompson said.
