MILWAUKEE – Zizzo Group Marketing + PR + New Media (ZGM+PR+NM), in partnership with Continuum Hospitals of New York, NBC New York and the New York Daily News, has been hired to develop a multi-faceted, community health and outreach initiative called “Live Well New York.” The new healthcare education campaign is designed to help inspire the New York City community to be better stewards of their health.

“Live Well New York” strengthens Continuum’s community education mission through tailored wellness advice and information for local residents. An integrated platform of television, print and online advertising, as well as a website, “Live Well New York” provides New York City residents with access to ongoing health and wellness information from local Continuum medical professionals.

ZGM+PR+NM developed the program’s strategy and all creative elements. Zizzo Group also created, and continually updates, the interactive website (LiveWellNewYork.com), which serves as a localized health and wellness destination for tips and information on how New Yorkers can live full and healthy lives.

Continuum Hospitals of New York is a non-profit hospital system comprised of four esteemed hospitals across the New York City metropolitan area, including: Beth Israel Medical Center, St. Luke’s Hospital, Roosevelt Hospital and The New York Eye & Ear Infirmary. Continuum Hospitals of New York has been serving their communities for over 100 years and provide an extensive number of primary and specialty care services, from community-based primary services to the most complicated and cutting-edge specialty care.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for the Continuum hospitals, and we are delighted to be involved with ‘Live Well New York’ and with such outstanding media partners,” says Stanley Brezenoff, President/CEO for Continuum. “Our hope is that this initiative will play a vital role in keeping New Yorkers healthy and well, and improve their access to quality medical care.”

“The ‘Live Well New York’ campaign exemplifies what Continuum stands for. They are a world-class health institution providing care for America’s largest city, but despite the magnitude of their services and facilities, Continuum is still able to reach out and connect to their metropolitan audience on a personal level by means of this initiative,” said Anne Zizzo, President and CEO of ZGM+PR+NM.
