The fact that it came up during strategic planning, we decided to research it further.

Does that (the name Boone County Hospital) really reflect what we do? Is that what the community wants?.

We're not necessarily changing the name of the hospital. What we are doing is significant. We will be moving forward with doing quantitative and qualitative research. A consultant will interview physicians, board members, employees and community opinion leaders. She will get a feel about what the community thinks about BCH and what they believe its image to be.
