Situation

Cancer center growth relied almost entirely on physician referrals. While those referral relationships were critical, there was no direct path for patients to learn about treatment options, express interest, or enter the pipeline independently.

Challenge

The organization needed to diversify patient acquisition while maintaining alignment with clinical operations and existing referral relationships. No direct-to-patient acquisition framework existed.

Actions Taken

Developed and launched a patient-facing acquisition strategy across four cancer centers.

Built educational content, awareness campaigns, community outreach initiatives, lead capture processes, and Salesforce workflows that allowed patient inquiries to be tracked, routed, and measured.

Created a repeatable framework that could be deployed across multiple locations while maintaining local relevance.
