  9. W S STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES • Solid track record of excellent care • No specific specialization for one kind of cancer treatment, enabling WHC to position itself as the comprehensive leader in cancer treatment of all kinds • Strong ties to local media • Strongpresence on Twitter • Routine media coverage from top tier print, online and broadcast outlets • YouTube channel with over 50 videos, more than 100 subscriptions and 100,000 views. • Uncertain funding, reliance on grants in order to continue to provide service • Facebook page lacks interaction and engagement • WCI lacks a top line message that spurs viewers to action or mobilizes support • WCI not considered a primary cancer treatment facility in the Mid-Atlantic at this time • WCI information is buried deep within sub-site pages • Minimal conversation on cancer web blogs about WHC T O OPPORTUNITIES THREATS • Partnerships with new organizations like AARP to reach baby boomers • Capitalize on demographic research about new target audiences • Diversity of patients served • Potential to capitalize on strong, credible standing within the local D.C. community • D.C.’s transportation network • Location in the nation’s capital - cultural resources offer solace, diversion and entertainment for caretakers • Expand online presence • Targeting referring doctors • Rising cost in prices (gas) associated with traveling to WHC from destinations across the Mid-Atlantic • Already established centers of excellence with cancer facilities in the Mid-Atlantic, notably Johns Hopkins • Rising costs associated with health care and greater vigilance and restrictions from insurance payers
