Summary. The Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs draws lessons from decades of rural health work in Nigeria, Guatemala, and Guyana to address similar challenges in rural America. Community-centered approaches—listening to local people, building trust with peers, and adapting services to fit daily life—have improved family planning, nutrition, and disease prevention outcomes globally. These proven methods can guide the $50 billion U.S. Rural Health Transformation Program.
