Why Hospital Marketing Matters More Than Ever

Rural hospitals are closing in record numbers. Since 2010, 149 rural hospitals have closed. Closures lead to job loss, reduced access to care, and community decline. Out-migration is a major driver—and marketing is a proven way to fight it.

Helping Hospitals Succeed. Helping Communities Thrive.

Your hospital is essential. Our mission is to help you stay that way—by building trust, raising awareness, and strengthening your connection with the community.
