Module 6: Funding and Sustainability Strategies for Rural Mobile Healthcare Programs
Sustainability is an essential component for the continued success of rural mobile healthcare programs. Rural communities should consider early in the planning and implementation phases of a project how they will sustain programming over time. Building strong community partnerships, securing reliable and assorted streams of funding, and demonstrating the positive impact of a program are important strategies to consider for developing sustainable programs.
This module focuses on several key sustainability and funding strategies for implementing rural mobile healthcare programs. For an overview of how to plan for sustainability, as well as strategies that would apply to any type of program, see Planning for Funding and Sustainability in the Rural Community Health Toolkit.
