NEW YORK, NY – November 7, 2007 – Big Arrow Group, a full-service strategic consulting and communications firm has been selected as the branding and strategic communications agency of record by Greenwich Hospital, a member of the Yale New Haven Health System, to extend the hospital’s brand strategy and corporate identity materials.

Greenwich Hospital is a 174-bed community hospital, serving lower Fairfield County Connecticut and Westchester County New York.
