Hackensack Meridian Health: Digital Strategy & Web Design for Community and Leadership Engagement

CMDS partnered with Meridian Health (now Hackensack Meridian Health) to develop and iterate multiple healthcare digital marketing properties. These initiatives facilitated both internal leadership training and external community outreach. Among them were the website of the Meridian Leadership Institute and the Paint the Town Pink initiative, both of which were an effective touchpoint for awareness, education, and user engagement. All were managed in tandem with the changing health system’s brand and mission, with consistency, clarity, and impact through channels.

This collaboration underscored the power of tailored healthcare digital marketing. We combined thought leadership, intuitive design, and living narrative to drive engagement, awareness, and organizational alignment.

Meridian Leadership Institute

Website Design & Development

Meridian Leadership Institute's website acted as an internal portal to foster collaboration and leadership development across the Meridian Health network. CMDS created a clean, user-focused site that featured:



  • Program descriptions and workshop information

  • Leadership and event registration problem-solving functionality

  • Branded design in accordance with Meridian's professional standards



With this project, we improved access to leadership resources and boosted internal team activation. Thus, opening the door for future leadership development communication across the organization.

Paint the Town Pink

Website Design & Development

One of the high points of our portfolio, Paint the Town Pink was a breast cancer awareness campaign by Meridian Health that combined community outreach with storytelling and education about early detection. CMDS developed an extremely interactive microsite with unique features designed to encourage participation and support:



  • Individual event pages for each of the participating towns, including custom town branding (e.g., "Pinkson" for Rumson)

  • Video testimonials from breast cancer survivors

  • Event calendars, local partner highlights, and early detection resource guides

  • Lead generation from mailing list sign-ups and partnership submission forms



This campaign served as a model for community-based healthcare outreach, demonstrating the effectiveness of web experiences to inform and empower local communities.
