Americaneagle.com creates 11 new sites for Samaritan Health Plans and Samaritan Health Services

DES PLAINES, IL--(October 19, 2016) - Samaritan Health Plans, a Medicare and health insurance plan provider, and Samaritan Health Services, a healthcare provider which serves more than 250,000 residents in 148 locations, including 5 hospitals, hired Americaneagle.com to complete an overhaul of their digital presence.

Americaneagle.com started the project by performing multiple strategies, including web, content, experience marketing, and technical. Along with design and development, Sitecore Experience Marketing and Hawk Search were implemented on the sites. Americaneagle.com launched a total of 11 websites for Samaritan Health Services and Samaritan Health Plans, in just 364 days, and the Medicare site passed the Medicare assessment required by the federal government.

Mike Svanascini, Americaneagle.com's President, commented, "We are very proud to collaborate with exceptional healthcare and plan providers such as Samaritan Health Services and Samaritan Health Plans, and to create sites that are truly representative of their brands and services, while providing unique customer experiences."

Cristie Lynch, Director of Customer Experience and Brand Strategy at Samaritan Health Plans, commented, "For Samaritan Health Plans, moving to the Sitecore platform and having the opportunity to start fresh on our websites was an exciting challenge. It was clear from the start, we had a lot to learn. We were eager students and the Americaneagle.com team proved to be effective teachers and thoughtful partners, opening up a new world of possibilities for us to grow our business. While our new sites boast many new features that are proving to be extremely effective sales tools for our statewide network of brokers, it is the potential for offering tailored, online experiences to our varied customers, from retirees to young families to corporations, which holds forth the greatest promise. We thank our patient teachers and collaborators at Americaneagle.com for opening up this new world of possibilities to us."

Evonne Walls, Director of Marketing & Public Relations at Samaritan Health Services, commented, "Moving to Sitecore with Americaneagle.com as our implementation partner has offered us flexibility in design, content management and experience marketing, allowing us to use our website for market research to increase consumer engagement."

Americaneagle.com and Samaritan Health Services will continue their partnership at HCIC (Healthcare Internet Conference) on November 7-9 in Las Vegas, where Tim Ahlenius, Director of Experience Marketing at Americaneagle.com and Jeri Hauth, Director of Branding & Creative at Samaritan Health Services, will be speaking together on design & usability.
