Troy, NY (PRWEB) September 10, 2012

This month began Ellis Medicines sixth service line campaign of 2012 that promotes its neuroscience and neurosurgery care from the perspective of the hospital systems patients. Created by healthcare marketing agency Smith & Jones, the campaign uses patient stories to demonstrate how the care they received at the Neuroscience Center changed their lives.

The campaign features Kevin Keelan, a patient from Charlton, NY who rushed to Ellis Medicine for emergency brain surgery after his wife noticed that his motor skills werent quite right. In a candid interview, Keelan talks about how lucky he was to have a hospital that serves as a national model for the care of brain, spine and nerve disorders so close to home.

I found I was very, very fortunate that Ellis had such a team that was ready to, on extremely short notice, to be able to save my life, said Keelan.

Keelan is the face of the neuroscience campaign, called Head2Toe Conversations, and can be seen throughout the multi-channel advertising campaign in print ads, online display ads, Facebook ads, television commercials, posters, and in a long-form web video on the hospitals website.

Two more patients, Bill Broland and Michael Nasser, also have long-form web videos new to this years Head2Toe campaign. Nasser is a spine and pain care patient from Ballston Spa, and Broland is a stroke survivor from Niskayuna, NY.

They must put the best people up there [in the Neurosciences unit].... theyre like family, said Broland.
