Sponsorship Prospectus
On June 20th, 2024, the OSU-Center for Health Systems Innovation and the Public Health Institute of Oklahoma will host the Rural Health Innovation Challenge in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Innovation is the cornerstone of progress, especially in the realm of healthcare. Yet, for rural communities, providing innovative solutions for their unique health challenges can be daunting. The Rural Health Innovation Challenge (RHIC) stands as a beacon of hope, a platform where innovation converges with a steadfast commitment to fostering health equity across Oklahoma’s rural landscapes. As we embark on this journey, we invite you to join us in empowering rural communities by catalyzing transformative change through strategic sponsorship of the RHIC. We look forward to partnering with you and your organization as we unlock the innovative potential of health and social care partners from across rural Oklahoma.

Why Sponsor the Rural Health Innovation Challenge?
What's Different about Sponsoring the Rural Health Innovation Challenge?
- 20+ teams of innovators serving rural Oklahoma will be selected to compete for dollars to bring their innovative ideas, products, programs for improving their community’s health to life. Your sponsorship puts you at the heart of supporting the innovative spirit of Oklahoma’s rural communities.
- Rural Health Innovation Challenge sponsorship isn’t merely about brand exposure; it’s about making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most. By aligning your organization with RHIC, you become a catalyst for change, driving innovation and fostering health equity in rural Oklahoma.
- Driving Innovation: RHIC serves as a launchpad for groundbreaking ideas and solutions, empowering innovators to address the root causes of health disparities and drive meaningful change.
- Fostering Health Equity: By sponsoring RHIC, you become a champion for health equity, ensuring that all communities, regardless of their geographic location, have access to innovative healthcare solutions.
- Building Connections: RHIC isn’t just an event; it’s a community united by a shared vision of a healthier, more equitable future. As a sponsor, you gain access to a network of like-minded individuals and organizations committed to driving positive change.
- Making an Impact: Your sponsorship dollars go beyond mere marketing; they directly fuel new and novel initiatives that have the power to transform lives and communities, leaving a lasting legacy of equity and opportunity.
- Unlike other innovation competitions where solutions are developed
in a day and forgotten, in this competition teams form months in
advance with the aim to develop high quality, actionable ideas they
want to execute in their rural community. - Teams are offered support from Oklahoma State University and the Public Health Institute of Oklahoma, connecting local doers with subject matter experts.
- Supporters of the RHIC are not only providing resources for the event; supporters are invited to actively participate in the Innovation Challenge as judges, exhibitors, subject matter experts, innovation explorers, and more!
We invite you to join us in elevating rural innovation!
