The Goodness Company Expands – Adds New Costa Rica Office to Position Company as Leaders in Global Healthcare Marketing

San José, Costa Rica, October 31, 2013 --(PR.com)-- For nearly 20 years, The Goodness Company, with offices in the U.S. and Latin America, has been at the forefront of the growing medical tourism industry. By delivering powerful healthcare marketing solutions and providing exceptional client service, The Goodness Company has become one of the most recognized medical tourism and healthcare marketing agencies in the world. With the recent addition of a new Costa Rica office complete with video marketing capabilities, The Goodness Company is positioned continue its growth in the global healthcare marketing and medical tourism marketing industry.

Medical tourism is the way of the future. In developed countries like the U.S., people are faced with a broken healthcare system. Whether it’s exorbitant healthcare insurance premiums or no insurance at all, many Americans without affordable access to healthcare are taking responsibility for their own health by seeking high-quality, affordable medical care beyond U.S. borders. In the past 10 years alone, globalization and technology have made it easier for patients to seek care outside of their home country – further increasing the popularity of medical tourism worldwide.

According to Patients Beyond Borders, it is estimated that more than 900,000 Americans will travel outside of the U.S. for medical care this year. Unfortunately, many outstanding international medical facilities, including hospitals, clinics and dental offices are not recognized as options by international patients. They lack the experience and understanding to effectively market their healthcare services to potential patients in the U.S. and Canada. However, The Goodness Company is changing how international healthcare providers market their services to potential medical tourism patients.

From Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia to Mexico and the U.S., healthcare providers continually seek out The Goodness Company for their global healthcare marketing needs.
