John Muir Health Launches New Digital Experience For Patients

New interactive website enables patients to easily schedule doctor visits and same-day Urgent Care appointments.

Walnut Creek, CA (PRWEB) - John Muir Health is pleased to announce the launch of its redesigned website, johnmuirhealth.com. Together with Hero Digital, John Muir Health has transformed its digital channel into an interactive experience where consumers and patients can quickly and easily manage their health care.

Along with a new, modern, and mobile-friendly design, John Muir Health’s eBusiness team has introduced features that are dynamic and smart:

• The Urgent Care scheduling feature on the home page lets both consumers and patients quickly schedule a same-day appointment for non-emergency needs in just a few clicks.
• The doctor scheduling feature on the home page detects your location and the current time so that the nearest doctors with the soonest-available appointments are displayed first. You can filter by specialty, location, and time of day.
• A re-imagined navigation creates clear paths for different audiences to find relevant content and provides easy access to tasks such as finding a doctor, paying a bill, finding a job, and more.

“We live in a digital world and John Muir Health is delivering value to its audiences in that world,” said Tammy Shanker, Senior Product Manager at John Muir Health. “With the redesign of johnmuirhealth.com, we have created a unique and engaging digital environment where current and future patients can easily and effectively manage their health care.”

"This project has really been focused on giving patients and consumers what they want from a healthcare website--better tools to make managing healthcare quick and easy," said Kevin Lazorik, Senior Vice President at Hero Digital. "Throughout the engagement, the complete focus of the John Muir Health team has been centered on how to improve all interactions for their audiences. The new site has moved from a static content site to an experience that is targeted to the needs of patients and consumers."
