Starting a Hispanic medical marketing program makes good sense for many doctors because the USA Hispanic population is growing so rapidly.

But launching an effective Hispanic medical marketing program requires more than just translating marketing messages into Spanish. It demands understanding the role of Hispanic culture and family structure in medical decisions.

Hispanic Medical Marketing requires understanding views about illness and medical care health issues are sensitive within the Hispanic culture and generally kept within the family. For example - Men rarely discuss health concerns. Women discuss birth control only with family members. Both genders consider it inappropriate to discuss medical concerns with the opposite sex, especially non-family members.

Knowledge of cultural attitudes about health and illness reveals that Hispanics value both folk healing and medical procedures. They often start with folk healing because it is more affordable.

Hispanic folk healing uses spiritual ceremonies to relieve the symptoms and causes of illness and concentrates on restoring balance between supernatural and natural forces, hot and cold, and reason and emotions.

Hispanic Medical Marketing requires understanding of the Hispanic family structure and it’s influence on medical decisions.

As heads of households, Hispanic culture dictates that fathers control how money is spent. This includes money spent on medical care. But as primary care givers for children, mothers have authority over their children’s health care. The father must agree to spend the money on health care, but the mother decides how it will be spent.

Hispanics revere their elderly and often turn to them about medical advice, child care and influence medical decisions for the children. It is also common for family members to be present while a Hispanic patient receives medical care.

Becoming involved in the Hispanic community provides a great method for Hispanic medical marketing.

Traditional advertising often fails. But health care providers who sponsor or participate in activities that help the Hispanic community are more likely to be trusted.
