10. Internship Faucets
• Throughout my internship at GHS, I utilized a variety of
networking and software programs.
• In learning these programs, I was able to enhance and
interact with GHS’s website, blog, and project
management system.
• I also had the opportunity to partake and head many
projects.
• More specifically, these programs and projects include:
– Wrike
– FlierEngine
– WordPress
– MyChart marketing plan

11. Wrike
• Wrike, Inc. is a project management application service provider.
• Wrike's primary product is an online tool for project
management and work collaboration.
• At GHS, Wrike is used to facilitate seamless communication
between coordinators, designers, editorial staff, etc. during a
project’s lifetime.
• Projects (such as brochures, posters, magnets) are uploaded into
Wrike as a “job.” Each job is given a specific job number is
assigned to a team (who is then responsible for completing the
job before the specified due date).

12. FlierEngine
• The internal GHS Marketing Tools site consists
of resources and outlets that employees can
access to market their specific practice,
service, specialty, etc.
• This tool allows employees to draft a flier and
submit their draft to editorial services.
• Once approved, the client will receive
confirmation and they are free to print and
distribute the flier to patients.

13. WordPress
• WordPress is an online tool that allows clients to create their
own, custom website.
• GHS utilizes WordPress to facilitate their main website and
their children’s website.
• WordPress contains a variety of functions that allow GHS to
post blogs, testimonies, featured physicians, and much
more.
• Regarding the main GHS site, I updated the MyChart
webpage as well as added feature photos to the
HealthCenter blogs.

14. MyChart Marketing Plan
• My main task during my internship was to implement a
marketing plan for the new online patient portal,
MyChart.
• MyChart offers patients personalized and secure online
access to portions of their medical records. It enables
you to securely use the Internet to help manage and
receive information about your health.
• The marketing plan consisted of targeting current
patients as well as current GHS employees.
• Internal and external tactics are utilized to reach our
audience.

15. Conclusion
• Throughout my marketing internship, I gained a lot of
knowledge about various marketing techniques.
• I also learned how to seamlessly communicate with
other members of the marketing team, in order to
efficiently produce a marketing piece for a client.
• Thank you, GHS Marketing Department, for hosting
my Spring 2016 Internship!
