Community outreach and marketing is an all encompassing effort and telling the Livingston story has always included the medical community of doctors, long term care facilities and hospitals. In addition, there is a vast area that needs to know more and hear our story …and that’s the community at large. Therefore, in our community relations efforts, we “step outside of the box” to add to traditional health care targets by looking at areas where competitors may not go.

With the opening of our new office in Ojai, the marketing department stepped up its focus in the Ojai Valley. Our very capable Ojai community liaison Suzzi Couch-Koenig has recently treaded into some new territories with very positive results. From the Visitor Center, to the Library, to the Holistic Center, to the Pharmacy, to the Rotary, to the Mobile Home Parks, etc. etc. … Suzzi has gone. Each visit resulted in a warm reception of “yes, we’re interested in hearing about Livingston and we’ll display your brochures ”.

When Suzzi recently visited the Ojai Police and Fire Departments they were just as positive and suggested she also visit the Oak View Station. As you can see, they were receptive, wanted to learn more, invited Suzzi to attend one of their meetings, and happily posed for this picture. That’s what Community Outreach and Relation is all about!!
