The Rural Health Media Partner Assessment

THE RURAL HEALTH MEDIA READINESS ASSESSMENT™

Is Your Rural Health Work Reaching the People It Was Designed to Serve?

Your university may already have the research.

The faculty expertise.

The funded initiative.

The community partnerships.

The student involvement.

But there is another question:

Do you have the media infrastructure to make that work heard, understood, documented, and shared?

The Rural Health Media Readiness Assessment™ helps universities and funded health initiatives identify gaps in how they communicate, translate, document, and amplify their rural-health work.

In just a few minutes, you'll evaluate whether your current communications strategy is equipped to move your impact from research to reach.

WHAT THE ASSESSMENT MEASURES

Evaluate your organization's readiness across eight key areas:

Communication Strategy

Do you have a communications plan specifically supporting the initiative?

Research Translation

Can community audiences easily understand the research and clinical expertise being produced?

Community Engagement

Are the people and communities you serve part of the conversation?

Faculty + Thought Leadership

Are your experts visible beyond traditional academic channels?

Student + Workforce Storytelling

Are you documenting the people being prepared to shape the future rural-health workforce?

Implementation + Impact Documentation

Are you capturing the story while the initiative is happening—not just at the end?

Media Production Capacity

Does your team have the resources to consistently create professional audio, video, interviews, and digital content?

Distribution + Long-Term Legacy

Will the initiative's knowledge and impact remain accessible after the funding period ends?

WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

Your score will help identify whether your organization has:

Strong Media Readiness

Your infrastructure is established and may benefit from greater amplification.

Partial Media Readiness

Important pieces exist, but strategic gaps may be limiting reach.

Significant Dissemination Gaps

Your work may be generating greater impact than your current communications infrastructure can capture or communicate.

High Media Partner Need

A dedicated media strategy or external partner may help strengthen research translation, community engagement, documentation, and distribution.

YOUR RESEARCH SHOULDN'T END WITH A REPORT.

Multi-year rural-health initiatives can produce years of:

Research.

Innovation.

Community partnerships.

Workforce development.

Student experiences.

Patient education via audio.

Faculty expertise.

Implementation lessons.

And human stories.

What will people be able to see, hear, understand, and remember when the project is complete?

The ideal time to build the media infrastructure isn't during the final year.

It's while the story is still being written.
