Healthcare's Digital Experience Needs to Catch Up With Its Patients
Healthcare consumers have become accustomed to digital experiences that anticipate their needs, offer personalized recommendations, and keep them informed every step of the way. Yet when it comes to something as important as their health, they're often left navigating complicated hospital websites, deciphering medical terminology, and figuring out which doctor to see on their own. The disconnect between what consumers experience everywhere else online and what they encounter in healthcare is becoming harder to ignore. For hospitals, improving the digital patient experience isn't simply about building a better website. It's about making healthcare easier to access, understand, and manage.
In this episode of Wellness, Work & Wellbeing, we're joined by Jaime Lyons, SVP of Engagement Strategy at Mighty Union, to discuss why hospital websites need to evolve beyond traditional marketing platforms. We talk about the growing expectations patients bring from brands like Amazon and Netflix, why finding the right doctor should work more like a dating app, and how AI could bring medical records, scheduling, and patient information together into a more personalized experience. Jaime also shares why healthcare organizations need to rethink how they communicate with patients, particularly during the moments when information matters most.

Chuck also shares how the team found compelling stories in unexpected places, why the campaign is expanding into heart and vascular care, and why good storytelling matters more than the length of an ad.
