Message from the President

Welcome to Health Care Communicators of San Diego and Imperial Counties -- the local chapter for the Society for Healthcare Strategy and Market Development of the American Hospital Association (SHSMD). Our 140-plus members represent a wide range of health strategy disciplines including marketing, planning, communications, public relations, business development, physician relations, and government relations.

We offer our members a vast range of professional development and recognition opportunities – and with each year, our programming gets stronger and more robust.

HCC offers the biggest network for healthcare strategy professionals in San Diego – with networking and professional development events held all year long.
HCC’s expanded professional development offerings include a wide array of programs bringing some of the country’s foremost professional speakers to discuss topics that affect our industry today.
We engage our members in friendly competition through our annual Finest Awards banquet – where members can enter their very best work in a variety of categories such advertising, collateral, creative design, campaign development and execution and much, much more.

You will find our members in multihospital systems, urban academic medical centers, suburban hospitals, freestanding surgery centers, multispecialty physician practices, state hospital associations, advertising agencies, consulting firms, and many other organizations.

One way of making your "mark" among colleagues in the workplace and the industry is by getting involved. Share your ideas; prove your public relations and marketing credibility to your co-workers. How? Join your HCC colleagues on a board committee: Get Involved! We encourage you to enjoy people outside the office environment — get recognized for your commitment — and have fun! Come to one of our regularly scheduled events or contact us to learn more about our various committees.

HCC exists to provide you with tangible tools and resources you need for your job and your professional growth and development. My fellow Board members and I are privileged to serve such an outstanding professional association.

Kind regards,
Nancy Goglin
President, Health Care Communicators
