Health Talk:
Bringing Physician Expertise to the Community Through Podcasting
Stoughton Health created the Health Talk podcast to expand its community education efforts and showcase physician expertise while reaching more people with trusted health and wellness information.
Problem
Stoughton Health has long been committed to educating its community through physician-led talks and wellness programs. However, these sessions were traditionally held in person, limiting the number of people who could attend and benefit from the information.
The marketing team wanted a way to expand the reach of these educational efforts while continuing to highlight the expertise of their physicians and care teams.
Limitations
Traditional outreach methods relied heavily on in-person events, which meant valuable health information was only reaching those who could attend live sessions.
Stoughton Health also needed a way to share this content more broadly without adding significant time or technical demands on their already busy staff and physicians.
Challenge
Stoughton Health needed a scalable way to expand community education beyond in-person events while showcasing its physicians and services.
They also needed a streamlined process that would allow their marketing team and providers to participate without creating additional administrative or technical burdens.
Solution
Stoughton Health partnered with DoctorPodcasting to launch Health Talk, a podcast designed to extend the reach of the hospital’s community education programs and highlight the expertise of its physicians and healthcare partners.
DoctorPodcasting manages scheduling, recording, production, hosting, and distribution, allowing the Stoughton Health team to focus on identifying speakers and topics that matter to their community. By pairing podcast recordings with existing community presentations, the team can efficiently capture valuable health information and share it with a much broader audience.
The result is a streamlined workflow that makes it easy for physicians and community experts to participate while helping Stoughton Health consistently deliver trusted health and wellness information.
