Beebe Healthcare's marketing communicators were in a unique situation when the pandemic began. The health system is located in a large tourist destination in Delaware. Christina Deidesheimer, VP of Communications Outreach and Chief Communications Officer, and her team had to navigate COVID-19 messaging for a diverse audience, of people living, working, or visiting their area.Christina shares how she and Beebe’s CEO Dr. David Tam use a top-down method of communicating clearly and supporting both staff and patients. She says, “We make sure that our caregivers are taken care of because we need them to be there for our community.”We talk about issues facing most hospitals today such as connecting with patients and ramping up safety procedures all while managing budget shortfalls during this episode of “What Did You Learn?”
We like to have fun, honest talks about music and the business of music. Fortunately, our guest, Emily Miller, knows her stuff. Emily works in Communications & Outreach for the Austin Music Foundation (AMF). And she walks the walk. When Emily isn't working, she can be found at shows all around Austin. It's her passion and it shows in her hustle. Emily willed her way into the music business and now helps musicians with their business education needs. She does this while having a fantastic disdain for corporate culture. We talked about AMF programs as well as Fair City Fire's own experiences with AMF advisors. FYI, Fair City Fire has been an AMF Artist of the Month and is thankful for all AMF does for our music community. Enjoy the episode! #rowyourboat #highclassnut
