    Episode 142: Messaging Your Practice To Attract Mission Aligned Partners And Funders

    Thank you visionaries! As we approach the end of this series on positioning your healthcare practice for 6- figure grants, I want to appreciate you for listening in, absorbing the knowledge and positioning yourself to serve the communities that need you. I appreciate you and your future communities appreciate you too.
    In this series we have explored clarifying your mission, your model of care, the minimums needed to run a viable practice and how to scale your impact. In this episode we discuss the final of the key essentials to positioning yourself for 6-figure grants - Messaging. You need to be able to communicate your message on how your practice is really going to change the game for the community you were called to serve and how it is an opportunity not to be passed up by any mission aligned partner or funder. We dive into the power of your message and the message of your movement, by unpacking the 5 pieces of how to put together a message suite to help attract a non-profit partner and funders. 
     What you’ll learn from this episode:
    ·      The importance of your practice message and how to define it


    ·      How elevating the problem you want to resolve will grab the attention of your desired collaborator or funder.


    ·      Why having a full proof elevator pitch will set you up for success.


    ·      How to educate potential stakeholders on why existing solutions are not fit for purpose and how you will close that gap.


    ·      The importance of showcasing your experience, why should they invest in you? 


    ·      The vital need to evidence your work and your research.


     …and much more!

    Episode 137: Finding PARTNERED Funding Sources to Grow Your For-Profit & Nonprofit Health Practice: (Part 2)

    Welcome welcome, Medicine Mavens! We’re so happy to have you back with us today. 
    As physicians, we’re often used to limiting ourselves and the care we provide by focusing solely on direct patient care. But, as an entrepreneur, you want your healthcare practice reach to go beyond the status quo. You want to make a change. You want to reach underserved communities in a way traditional hospital care has been known to.


    In today’s episode of the Funding Your Health Care Practice podcast Dr. Omolara is expanding upon last week’s episode and sharing with you partnered strategies that can help you build upon the work you are already doing in your mission-driven healthcare practice by ensuring you have the funding you need to grow your practice and giving you the ability to create the impact you want to have within your community.


    What you’ll learn from this episode:
    Three ways partnerships can help you attain funding to build and grow your mission-driven healthcare practiceHow integrated care payments built into your funding partnership can allow you to provide elevated levels of social care management into your healthcare practice servicesHow contracting can help you bring high-quality healthcare into non-traditional healthcare spacesHow partnering with nonprofits can not only give you access to grant-writing professionals but non-profit funds that allow you to serve underserved communities and expand upon their mission
    This is another episode chock full of information, so be sure to take notes and reach out to us with any questions you may have.
