Northern California Adventist Hospitals Select CKR Interactive as Recruitment Advertising Agency

Cupertino, CA, April 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- CKR Interactive (ckrinteractive.com) announces that they have been selected by several Adventist hospitals in Northern California to be the group’s new recruitment advertising agency.

The group of hospitals, all affiliates of Adventist Health, is comprised of St. Helena Hospital, St. Helena Hospital Clearlake, Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital, and Ukiah Valley Medical Center. CKR Interactive was selected in a recent competitive review of several ad agencies. The agency was chosen to partner with the hospitals on all of their employment communications efforts, including employer branding, online and print advertising, direct mail, and internal communications such as a new employee referral program. With the shortage of qualified healthcare professionals in many areas that hospitals currently face, it is vitally important to choose a strategic advertising agency to help recruit a qualified workforce to the hospitals as the needs of the patient populations continue to grow.

"We're honored and thrilled to be chosen by these hospitals,” commented Curtis Rogers, President of CKR Interactive. "Adventist Health has a long and rich history of serving their communities with the highest level of care, and we look forward to helping them attract, recruit, and retain outstanding employees to continue with their tradition of service. We currently work with several other Adventist Health affiliates, and now being selected by the group in Northern California really speaks to our agency’s expertise in healthcare and our reputation of providing outstanding service to our clients.”

“We chose CKR Interactive for several reasons: their creative capabilities and unique new ideas, our working relationship and past experience with the agency, and perhaps most importantly the fact that they truly understand Adventist Health’s philosophy and faith-based culture,” said Rick Dodds, Administrative Director of Human Resources at Ukiah Valley Medical Center. “It was evident that they did their homework on us and our competition and understand our recruitment needs. We look forward to a long partnership with CKR Interactive as they help us attract top talent to our hospitals in the area.”
