ANNAPOLIS, Maryland, July 17, 2017 – Towne Park announced today a new partnership with Yale New Haven Hospital, a nationally recognized academic medical center, to begin offering Towne Health services. The partnership marks the 12th new client for Towne Park’s healthcare business in 2017 as it continues to expand its healthcare services to meet industry demand.

Under the agreement, Towne Health will provide Yale New Haven Hospital with valet, self-parking, cashier, and lot monitor services.

“We are setting all kinds of growth records this year and our healthcare business is a big part of our story,” stated Towne Park President and Chief Executive Officer Chuck Heskett. “Top healthcare organizations like Yale New Haven Hospital are recognizing that non-clinical services help build exceptional patient experiences and improve efficiencies.”

 

“We are delighted to partner with Yale New Haven Hospital and honored they have selected us as the partner they trust to best deliver world-class care to their patients and guests,” stated Heskett.

Towne Health Well Positioned for Growth

Towne Health stands at the center of important market forces. Patient satisfaction scores at hospitals are increasingly being shared and compared online at various sites, effecting patient healthcare choices. Patient satisfaction surveys also effect hospital reimbursement; Medicare bases 30 percent of its financial incentives on patient satisfaction scores.

With its unique expertise and customized services, Towne Health is well positioned to capitalize on the growth of non-clinical healthcare services. Towne Health combines a deep understanding of the healthcare vertical with nearly 30 years of experience in hospitality. Sophisticated systems, proprietary data, robust training programs and an unrivalled national footprint further distinguish Towne Health, enabling immediate response to client needs and exceptional, consistent service nationwide that helps hospitals strengthen their reputations and maximize reimbursement.

“Towne Health helps hospitals operate smarter and deliver a better overall care experience to patients and guests,” stated Towne Health Vice President Ingrid Black. “We look forward to continuing to increase our value proposition and are very optimistic about our prospects to continue expanding nationally.”

Towne Health Services and Their Benefits

Towne Health offerings include the following:

  • Internal Non-Clinical Services – Patient transport services, patient discharge services, patient concierge services, employee concierge services, greeter and front desk services, hospital call center services, in-unit concierge services, coffee shop services, and patient sitter services.
  • External Non-Clinical Services – Parking management services, valet parking services, and shuttle services.

 

The benefits of Towne Health reach across the patient care ecosystem:

  • Eliminates the need for hospital staff to conduct non-clinical work – Hospitals get the cost savings of using Towne Health’s team.
  • Provides metric-driven solutions for internal patient transport – Systems allow administrators to track and improve patient flow, enhancing operating efficiencies.
  • Creates multiple opportunities to improve patient satisfaction scores and reduce risk – Towne Health’s consistent, high-quality service touches, from first and last points of contact to wayfinding and concierges, help enhance patient and guest perceptions of care; sitter services reduce patient accident risks to hospitals.

Towne Park Reimagines Off-Airport Parking, Brings Five-Star Hospitality Experience to

Denver International Airport

 

 

  • What if the highlights of your trip included your off-airport parking experience?
  • Enabling outstanding, seamless travel hospitality – from your car to your hotel

 

 

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland, May 9, 2017 – Towne Park announced today that it has partnered with ParkDIA at Denver International Airport to reimagine off-airport parking and build a better customer experience for travelers at the nation’s sixth-busiest airport.

Travelers face numerous headaches when using traditional off-airport parking: archaic systems, highly stressful delays, and poor customer service. Now Towne Park has a new way to put smiles on travelers’ faces. The company is leveraging its nearly 30 years of experience in valet and hospitality services for premium hotels to give customers what they want: outstanding, seamless door-to-door hospitality that makes travel a great experience.

“We’re bringing elements of first-class hospitality into off-airport parking, rethinking the travel experience from door-to-door,” stated Towne Park President and Chief Executive Officer Chuck Heskett. “Our services at ParkDIA will address longstanding travel problems and close the gap between hotel and airport hospitality with highly affordable, fast, and convenient services that make a difference.”

“Towne Park’s tremendous operating processes, systems, and training expertise, along with their deep insight into how to delight people, will make our brand really shine,” stated ParkDIA owner Darren Fisk. “We will now be able to offer even more valuable and extensive services and solutions to our customers.”

Located just minutes from Denver International Airport, ParkDIA offers efficient mobile solutions and a five-star vibe with extensive amenities, including multiple parking options and a well-stocked traveler’s lounge. The facility offers over 7,500 spaces, with pick-up, drop-off, and assistance at your vehicle. Loyalty and discount programs are available; prices start at just $6 per day.

“The addition of modern hospitality services marks the beginning of a sea change for the off-airport parking industry as it starts to reflect the way people live today,” added Heskett. “Nobody is better positioned to drive this change than Towne Park.”

The partnership with ParkDIA strengthens Towne Park’s off-airport and airport parking business, positioning Towne Park for continued record growth. Towne Park currently manages approximately 30 off-airport and airport parking operations, serving nearly 20 of the country’s airports, including Los Angeles International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, and Newark Liberty International Airport.

In February, Towne Park announced that it expects record performance in 2017, driven largely by organic growth of its leading hospitality services business as it continues to capitalize on the rapid professionalization of the industry and strong demand for more sophisticated, value-added hospitality services.
