For the last year, the hottest take in digital health marketing has been: “websites are dead.” But top hospitals and health systems continue to deliver tangible results through continuous website improvement to stay ahead of the curve. The website is still where patients make decisions, where access journeys begin, and where marketing performance becomes measurable. What is changing is how leading teams approach it: less “big bang” redesign, more incremental evolution with a strategic roadmap.

In this informative webinar, Jared Johnson will moderate a panel of hospital and health system leaders who are actively modernizing their web experience. You’ll hear what’s actually working right now, including practical changes teams shipped in the past year, how they prioritized work amid competing stakeholder demands, and how they tied improvements to ROI even under budget pressure.

Expect a mix of VP-level strategy and director-level execution so you get both the “why” and the “how.” If you’re responsible for digital, web, or marketing performance and you're being asked to do more with less, this session will give you grounded, usable ideas you can apply immediately.

After attending, you’ll be able to:

• Reframe your website strategy from redesign cycles to an ongoing “website-as-a-product” operating model.
• Identify and prioritize high-impact improvements you can ship incrementally (without waiting 12-18 months for a redesign).
• Build a clearer ROI narrative for leadership by connecting web work to outcomes (access, conversion, patient acquisition, efficiency).
• Navigate stakeholder overload with governance approaches that reduce bottlenecks and align teams around measurable goals.
• Leave with examples and language you can use to align marketing, digital, and operational partners when resources are tight.
