What areas do we support?

Focused Areas of Expertise

Connor Communications and Consulting, Inc. supports complex healthcare and public-sector initiatives that require both strategic insight and a deep understanding of rural and underserved systems. Our work spans funding opportunities that strengthen access to care, support workforce development and education, and advance innovative service delivery models. These efforts include community-based programs as well as technology-enabled care. Each area of expertise reflects our commitment to aligning grant strategy with long-term organizational and community impact.

Rural Health Transformation (RHT)

The Rural Health Transformation Program is a federal initiative designed to strengthen healthcare delivery in rural communities. It focuses on improving access to care, supporting workforce sustainability, and advancing innovative care models that address the unique challenges facing rural health systems.

Telehealth Funding

Telehealth funding provides financial support to healthcare organizations seeking to expand or enhance virtual care services. These initiatives help reduce geographic and transportation barriers, extend provider reach, and improve continuity of care for rural and remote patient populations.

Distance Learning

Distance learning initiatives support education and training through virtual platforms, expanding access to professional development and continuing education for healthcare providers and staff. These programs are especially valuable in rural settings, where access to in-person training can be limited, helping organizations strengthen workforce capacity and long-term sustainability.

_first responders, safety and emergency preparedness

First Responders, Safety & Emergency Preparedness

First responder, safety, and emergency preparedness initiatives support the systems, training, and infrastructure needed to protect communities and respond effectively to emergencies. These programs often focus on strengthening response capabilities, improving coordination, and enhancing readiness through equipment, planning, and workforce development. Grant funding in this area helps organizations build resilient, well-prepared systems that support public safety and long-term community stability.

Grant Strategy for Rural Care

Rural Health Transformation

Connor Communications and Consulting works with healthcare organizations to pursue funding through the Rural Health Transformation Program, a federal initiative focused on strengthening healthcare in rural communities through system-level change. We support organizations as they align funding strategies with program priorities related to access to care, workforce sustainability, and innovative models of service delivery.

Our approach emphasizes readiness, alignment, and long-term impact. We help clients assess organizational capacity, identify well-matched opportunities, and develop proposals that clearly articulate need, strategy, and implementation plans. In doing so, we position Rural Health Transformation initiatives for both funding success and meaningful, lasting outcomes.

Improving Access to Care

Grants for Technology

Telehealth and rural health technology play a critical role in expanding access to care and strengthening service delivery in underserved communities. These projects require careful planning, operational alignment, and a clear understanding of funder expectations.

We guide clients through the full funding process, from opportunity analysis and proposal development to post-award considerations. Our approach helps position telehealth and health technology initiatives for sustainable, effective implementation and long-term impact.
