GIFFORD, Florida/June 16, 2008 - Sam Yates, President, Yates & Associates, Public Relations & Marketing, has been selected to conduct two days of extensive marketing and public relations seminars for the Urgent Care Association of America (UCAOA) during the group's Fall Convention in Memphis, Tennessee. Physicians and health care professionals from as far away as Hawaii are expected to attend the national conference. This is the second year in a row Yates will present to the Urgent Care Association of America.

According to Yates, "There was a tremendous amount of interest in all aspects of marketing and public relations during last year's presentations. However, the most popular seminars focused on techniques every business owner may use to generate free publicity to favorably impact revenue."

Yates will also conduct media training seminars and present several sessions on how to select the right media for your advertising dollar. "With a tight economy, everyone is looking for more efficient ways of spending their dollars and improving their image. Our seminars are designed to give those attending a huge advantage over their competitors," said Yates.

The Urgent Care Association of America is dedicated to supporting the more than 15,000 urgent care centers in the United States. The UCAOA exists to encourage and facilitate the development and the success of urgent care centers and the urgent care industry. The Organization also provides a forum for networking, continuing medical education (CME), and standardization and improvement of the industry.
