Lafayette General Medical Center (LGMC), a 301-bed facility, is the largest full-service, acute-care medical center in the nine-parish area of Acadiana.
LGMC provides families with comprehensive medical services at every level of care, from severe emergency trauma to the common cold.
THE PROBLEM
Lafayette General Medical Center (LGMC) needed a Web site that provided a much greater degree of depth, an educational site where consumers could get vital information regarding products and service lines.
The hospital also needed a site that was much more highly interactive, and included such functions as a physician finder and job board.
In addition, the previous LGMC site was hosted and managed by a third-party. Any time changes were required, additional costs and time delays were incurred. The hospital wanted a site that could be managed internally, thereby reducing both costs and time.
BIZZUKA SOLUTION
LGMC did their due diligence and looked at healthcare-specific Web site developers across the country. However, because they are a community-owned hospital, their preference was to do business locally, if possible.
The hospital chose Bizzuka because, not only were we a local company, but our services fit their budget. They especially liked the functionality offered by our content management system.
Bizzuka's platform allowed LGMC to take control of their own site and make changes themselves in real-time. Changes that used to take days can now be handled in a matter of minutes.
"Bizzuka's product is excellent and easy to use. Plus, the service is outstanding," said Mark Attales, LGMC's Director of Community Relations. "We have developed a true partnership with Bizzuka to the degree that we have employed the company to work on a number of other projects."
"The relationship and partnership we have developed with Bizzuka is tremendous.”
