We have several rural hospital clients who have trusted us with helping them better serve their communities through effective marketing and communications strategies. Even before COVID-19, these hospitals were vital institutions in their communities…often the only source of health care for miles and an objective source of clarity and insight on sometimes political, often complex health care issues. With COVID-19, that role became even more paramount. It’s been our honor to work with them over the last year to communicate their challenges and triumphs and cement their reputations as the best health care advocate for their patients and communities.
KHOU 11 in Houston talked with one of our clients, Hansford County Hospital District, in early December, as the post-Thanksgiving surge of COVID-19 patients grew.
