    NORTON HEALTHCARE
    Norton Healthcare Reaches All Audiences with VoiceBlast and SoundCare® - Communications that Deliver Results
    As Kentucky’s largest healthcare provider, Norton Healthcare is committed to delivering quality, patient-centered care at its more than 50 locations, including four hospitals, throughout the Louisville area.

    Employee involvement has been Norton’s key to success in improving its total patient experience. Keeping employees informed and connected with Vericom’s VoiceBlast has been instrumental in this effort. SoundCare, Vericom’s on hold and in queue communications solution, is also integral to Norton’s ability to communicate effectively with both employees and the community.
    Guaranteed message delivery with VoiceBlast

    VoiceBlast is a critical component of Norton’s well-oiled internal communications machine. With VoiceBlast, Norton knows its employees aren’t reading anything in the newspapers they haven’t heard directly from their leadership first. When e-mail can’t do the job, hearing the voice of the CEO or COO sends a powerful message. “Our administration cannot speak to 9,400 employees in person at one time, but they get very close with VoiceBlast,” says Steve Menaugh, Vice President, Public Relations and Communications.

    VoiceBlast lets employees know Norton is vested in their success by providing internal communications that work. Norton reaches 2,800 mailboxes with one brief, targeted message at a time. “Employees know when they receive a VoiceBlast message, it is important. And we know they’re listening, because the message cannot be deleted,” adds Menaugh.

    Norton’s CEO and COO enjoy recording and relaying VoiceBlast messages. They know when they want to make an impact, VoiceBlast is always available. “Steve Williams and Russ Cox find the production process easy, flexible, and highly effective,” says Menaugh. “And because we use VoiceBlast judiciously, it is even more valuable to us. Our messages are not diluted from overuse.”
    Capturing all audiences with SoundCareNorton communicates via SoundCare to an already captive audience by using a marketing strategy that centers on variety. Marketing tries to reach as many people as possible with just a few main media. “SoundCare is an important communications medium we rely on to help us diversify our marketing,” says Jason VanDiver, Director of Marketing.

    Promoting main service lines, the foundation, physician offices, and immediate care centers, SoundCare fits in well with Norton’s overall marketing strategy. “SoundCare reinforces our messages and adds a unique and refreshing perspective to the messages we deliver,” adds VanDiver.

    As the healthcare provider of choice in Louisville, Norton boasts rising employee satisfaction scores and depends on communications that deliver results. “Our highly effective and diversified communications campaigns that include both VoiceBlast and SoundCare are an important part of what we offer at Norton Healthcare,” says Menaugh.
