Middletown, PA (PRWEB) January 31, 2017
In business, the importance of getting departmental and corporate buy-in for new initiatives is a hot topic. More than a buzzword, teamwork has been consistently linked with better, more cost-effective and higher-revenue producing programs. This holds true across all verticals, including those of interest to aquatic therapy practitioners and their colleagues.
For Brian Howells, Director of Rehabilitation Services at Kansas-headquartered Via Christi Health, the concept of amassing a passionate team has been critical to the success of his organization’s aquatic therapy program. From gaining support to create a successful aquatic therapy program to working hand-in-hand with marketing personnel, Howells credits cohesive team collaboration as the cornerstone to effectively building a stellar aquatics reputation.
Howells is sharing his experiences in an upcoming webinar entitled “Creating a Successful Aquatic Therapy Program Through Teamwork.” This live HydroWorx-hosted event will be held on February 2, 2017, from 1:00-2:00 p.m. E.S.T. Ideal for audience members who are considering starting an aquatics program or are already in the midst of developing a hydrotherapy arm at their facilities, the webinar is free to attend with prior registration.
During the presentation, Howells will share the strategies that have led to Via Christi Health’s robust aquatic therapy program. Four essential topics will be discussed as part of the event:
1. How Howells and his team worked with his organization’s administrators to get approval for high-end aquatics equipment funding.
2. How staff built a unique aquatic therapy program through collective efforts and their past expertise.
3. How marketing colleagues at Via Christi were utilized early in the process, and how they have continued to drive exposure and referrals.
4. How Howells and his team have developed mutually beneficial relationships with key players, including referrers and patients.
At the conclusion of the webinar, Howells will answer questions from attendees interested in diving deeper into this topic. Registration for "Creating a Successful Aquatic Therapy Program Through Teamwork" can be made by going to the HydroWorx website.
