Town Hall Marketing

10/30/2025

You can have the best service in the world but if nobody knows about it, it doesn’t matter.

That’s what I see in healthcare every day, especially in rural communities. Amazing teams, meaningful missions, and important work happening quietly, behind the scenes.

The problem? People can’t support what they don’t know exists.

But that why Town Hall Marketing exists: to help rural hospitals, clinics, and small businesses tell their stories, build trust, and connect with the people who need them most. Consistently & authentically.

Because when people see you, they start to trust you.

And in rural healthcare, that trust can make all the difference.

This morning, at the last minute, I went to a women-in-business coffee hour. It was part mastermind, part support group, part therapy session (with caffeine).

And honestly, it was so refreshing.

I’d forgotten how energizing it is to be surrounded by women who understand the juggle of running a business, managing a team, and still showing up for life outside of work. It was the reminder I didn’t know I needed: that we’re not doing this alone, even when it feels that way.

It also reminded me of something I first learned during my time at North Park University in Chicago: the Swedish tradition of fika.

Fika isn’t just about coffee. It’s about pausing. Connecting. Being fully present with people who lift you up. It’s the moment in the middle of the day when productivity takes a back seat to presence.

Today felt like fika.

A moment to slow down, refill my cup (literally and figuratively), and remember that connection is part of the work, not separate from it.

Here’s to more fika moments in business and in life!☕️✨

I’ve heard it more than once:
“You’re just a social media manager.”

Before that, it was, “You're just a nurse.”

Funny how the word just can make something meaningful sound small.

Both roles, nursing and marketing, require empathy, intuition, and a deep understanding of people. One takes care of patients, the other takes care of stories, trust, and connection.

There’s nothing *just* about that.

“Just a Social Media Manager.” “Just a Nurse.” I’ve heard both. And every time, it makes me pause, not because the words are cruel, but because of what they miss. When someone says “just a nurse,” they overlook everything that title actually represents: the clinical knowledge, critical...

Fresh photos, fresh energy, and a few things in the works!

It was time for a photo refresh to go with new services (like our Power Hour content sessions) to better serve our local clients.

made this session so easy, fun, and stress free…letting us goof off, try new things and capture what really feels like us. (She’s got Holiday minis coming up—be sure to book with her!)

Excited to keep growing, creating, and helping other businesses do the same!

Health awareness days are everywhere — and while they all matter, not every organization should approach them the same way.

➡For hospitals and clinics, they’re a chance to educate and connect with patients.
➡For EMS, they’re an opportunity to highlight the people and real-world moments behind the response.
➡For healthcare-adjacent businesses, it’s about amplifying and supporting those who provide care.

The goal isn’t to check boxes on a content calendar, it’s to post with purpose.

When done thoughtfully, awareness days can build trust, show humanity, and align your brand with what truly matters in healthcare.

💬 How does your organization decide which awareness days to honor and how do you make them meaningful?

I’ve been quietly thinking about how to get on a podcast again (and maybe even a small speaking engagement - gasp, I said it 'out loud'!), intentionally connecting here on LinkedIn, sharing my work, and putting myself out there a little more.

And yesterday - you guys - it happened. I was invited to be a guest on a business podcast… and booked it today! 🎙️

The last time I was on a podcast was several years ago. I was inexperienced, nervous, and honestly, a little awkward. And I rambled on & on for so long at the beginning - cringe. But I did it anyway... and I’ve carried that experience with me ever since.

This time, I’m hoping to feel more comfortable. Not because I have it all figured out, but because I’ve grown, as a professional, as a communicator, and as someone who truly loves connecting through storytelling and conversation.

It’s a small win, but one I’m really proud of & super excited about. It's proof that sometimes the quiet work - the consistent, intentional effort - pays off in ways that feel perfectly timed.

At its core, marketing isn’t about selling.

It’s about understanding people.

Every great strategy starts with human behavior: what people need, what they value, what makes them trust, pause, or take action.

Before the visuals, before the messaging, before the campaign… we should be asking:

Who are we trying to reach?
What are they worried about?
What would make their life easier, or better, or safer?

In healthcare, I think about this a lot. Because understanding human behavior isn’t just good marketing, it’s empathy in action. It’s seeing the person behind the patient, the family behind the decision, the emotion behind the choice.

The foundation of marketing is, and has always been, people.
And when we start there, everything else falls into place.

We’ll never get tired of reviews like this!

When a client takes the time to share how our work made a difference for them — that’s everything.

So thankful for the partnerships, the trust, and the stories we get to help tell every day.

After a full day of retreat sessions, a dinner cruise, and dancing, the Miami heat still had us beat. By the time we made it back to the hotel, we didn’t even bother changing - we were desperate to cool off! 💦
