This week you will choose a specific healthcare organization (HCO)(i will assign HCO once accepted) and begin examining the products and services found in the HCO's strategic plan. For this assignment, read Chapter 3 in the course text, which addresses the importance of the mission, vision, and values statements to organizations. Why is it important for an organization to have these statements? What purpose do they serve?

Next, research and choose a specific healthcare organization for your marketing plan. You could select the organization your currently work for, one you are familiar with, or one you would like to work for in the future. After selecting your HCO, conduct research online to locate the organization's strategic plan and read its vision, mission, and values statements. Add the term strategic plan after the HCO's name in the search engine box (e.g., Sharp Healthcare strategic plan) to narrow your search results.
