Newswise — LifeBridge Health has launched a new e-commerce website that allows employees, patients, visitors, families and friends to shop online for such things, as medical equipment, medical supplies, nutritional supplements, uniforms, flowers, books and gifts. The new site, www.TheShopsAtLBH.org can be accessed directly, or through the main LifeBridge Health website, www.lifebridgehealth.org.
“More and more people are using the Internet to make purchases and get information, particularly as it relates to their health care,” says David Garner, director of Retail Health for LifeBridge Health. “This allows LifeBridge Health facilities to meet the needs of its many customers by making it easier for them to buy items they may need for their continued medical care, as well as send flowers and gifts to a family member or friend who may be hospitalized. This is especially useful for patients who are homebound, or may have friends and family who are out of state. In addition, LifeBridge Health employees will be able to purchase uniforms at discounted prices.”
Along with the thousands of health and wellness products for sale, visitors to www.TheShopsAtLBH.org can sign up for health e-newsletters and a loyalty program, which rewards buyers who make frequent purchases on the site. Expectant mothers are also able to sign up for a baby registry.
The site is being managed in partnership with Paquin Healthcare Companies, a leading provider of retail-related strategies for health care clients in the United States.
“This initiative represents a real commitment by Lifebridge Health to meet the needs of the community in new and innovative ways. We are enthusiastic about partnering with them on this project,” says Tony Paquin, CEO of Paquin Healthcare.
LifeBridge Health includes Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, Northwest Hospital, Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital and Courtland Gardens & Rehabilitation Center. It is one of the largest, most comprehensive providers of health services in the Northwest Baltimore area.
