Research and choose a specific healthcare organization (HCO) for your future marketing plan. After selecting your HCO, conduct research online to locate the organization’s strategic plan and read its vision, mission, and values statements.

• State your choice of HCO and explain why it interests you.
• State      the organization’s vision, mission, and values statements
• Discuss      whether the organization’s purpose and priorities are clearly defined
• Discuss whether the mission statement clearly separates the HCO from competing organizations.
• Include any ideas you have at this point for improving the mission statement in terms of aligning the HCO’s stated priorities with its products and services.  
• Discuss whether the current vision statement correctly describes the HCO’s path as it implements the strategic plan.
  • Could the current vision statement be utilized to motivate the organization’s workforce?
  • If not, how would you reword the vision statement to better reflect high ideals and aspirations to fulfill the HCO’s strategic plan?  
• Discuss whether the current value statement takes into consideration the values of multiple participants such as the community, employees, shareholders, and customers.
  • How would you reword the current value statement to better reflect priorities found within the HCO’s strategic plan?
