Allina Health

Positioning a healthcare brand around the power of caring for the whole of every person.

Brand positioning & design


Three insights about health drove our positioning and subsequent design approach

1.
80% of health happens outside of healthcare

2.
People are more than their ailments

3.
Relationships are at the center of great health

Allina Health’s positioning came to life through a brand system that is vibrant, active and full of vitality – while still maintaining the ability to communicate a sense of expertise and trustworthiness.


Clinic design & patient experience

Clinics are a core asset in the Allina Health system – providing geographic breadth, and serving as a frequent touchpoint. We used Allina Health’s new brand positioning to focus the role of clinics as a means of creating more high-value patient experiences. While the category attempted to reduce interactions with healthcare, we saw an opportunity to increase contact in low-barrier, high-touch ways that elevated the brand.

Experience Strategy | Brand & clinic Design guidelines


Four key experiences guide future clinic design at Allina Health.

1. Health Navigation

2. Convenience Care

3. Education & Exploration

4. Community Spaces



Everyday convenience care

Convenience care was an important driver of growth, as well as masterbrand awareness for Allina Health. We conducted consumer research that pointed to a unique, untapped category insight: Care can mean answering the everyday questions we all ask; questions as simple as “What does it mean?” all the way to “Who do I call?”.

The Allina Health Everyday digital experience was designed as a streamlined means of accessing care – whether early in the funnel, or at the moment of seeking care.
