We are pleased to provide you with a PR Strategy and Media Guide to help you get started on any media outreach you might consider conducting around your hospital’s adoption of Cardica’s anastomosis products for CABG procedures.  We have found that hospitals find it beneficial to publicize their adoption of this technology because the resulting media coverage helps to raise their visibility within the community and can help position them as the most advanced hospital in the area.

The PR Strategy and Media Guide provides a range of materials that you can use to effectively communicate with your local newspaper and TV broadcast outlets to encourage coverage of these procedures. The following resources are available for use by hospitals in the United States:
