In this first assignment, you will develop a brochure and an email for your chosen organization, department, service, or product about its public reputation and how that impacts buying decisions. Choose a provider, service, or product that is located within 100 miles of your home. This may be:
A small health care organization (such as a podiatrist office, a physical therapy center, or a mental health clinic).
A department or service within a larger health care organization (such as a sports medicine department, hospice care, or diabetes management services).
A product offered by a health care organization (such as medical equipment, oxygen, or pharmaceuticals).
