abstract: Physician marketing has mushroomed in the last three years, and the growth in number of departments is matched by labor and budget increases.

These are some of the results from a survey sponsored by the American Hospital Association's Society for Healthcare Planning and Marketing, Chicago; National Research Corp., Lincoln, NE; and Medstar Communications, Inc., Allentown, PA. Learn how hospitals are investing their physician marketing dollars, and what they're getting in return.
