Naming My Healthcare Clinic

Posted by tdhayman on 250 Points
I am a Nurse Practitioner and I am opening a healthcare clinic for all ages and want to stress prevention and maintenance of health. I am also wanting it to be christian based. I am an employee of a clinic about 1 mile from where I am moving and do not want it to be confused with that clinic. I am solo provider of this clinic and I know my patients will follow me.

    You "know" your patients will follow you? How do you know this? Have you asked them? Do they know you're moving? Do they know where you're moving to?

    As for a name, the best thing to do is to name the clinic for the town or area it will be located in. Unless it's church funded, what you want in terms of it being Christian-based is neither here nor there. Ideally, unless you're ministering to people's faith as well as their health your clinic needs to be healthcare based.

    Why & who specifically are likely to become your patients?
    Where are you located?
    What can you offer that other NPs/MDs/etc. can't/don't?
    If you believe that people are attracted to you by reputation, then why not simply use your name for the business:

    Jane Smith, NP
    Specializing In Stress Prevention

    The patients who follow you will follow regardless of the business name. So the focus needs to be on identifying your primary target audience for NEW patients/customers, and then positioning yourself to deliver the benefit those patients need most.

    Start with your positioning promise: What unique and important patient benefit do you offer that sets you apart from other healthcare providers in your area? Why should someone come to you instead of a competitor? How/why are you different from, and better than, competition?

    Are you targeting referring physicians or patients? What is your marketing strategy? These are the questions that need to be answered before you begin looking for a name.
