ATLANTA (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

In an effort to elevate healthcare strategic planning among hospitals, physician practices, and related healthcare organizations, strategicplanningMD announced today that it will offer a free, weekly webinar through the first quarter of 2012. Four different webinars focusing on strategic planning, branding, and healthcare reform will be offer each month and will be repeated through March. The webinars are designed to enhance organizational effectiveness, even if the organization is not a user of the company’s strategic planning software.

The four 90-minute webinars scheduled monthly -- at 1 p.m. Eastern on Wednesdays -- for the first quarter of 2012 are:
