This Is Rural Health, is a twice-monthly podcast from the California State Rural Health Association (CSRHA). The CSRHA is focused on ensuring that the needs and voices of rural Californians are expressed and heard and continually works toward improving the quality and length of life of rural Californians. This podcast, like the CSRHA, brings together leaders in rural healthcare with policy advisors, community leaders, and other forward thinkers to gain a better understanding of what is happening across today’s rural healthcare ecosystem. Hear the unique perspectives of these industry and community leaders and how they are finding innovative solutions to the challenges of a rapidly changing and increasingly complex healthcare industry. We cover topics such as leading with resilience in a post COVID-19 paradigm, telehealth, and the rising costs of patient care all through the lens of our rural communities. Guests also share their insights, lessons learned and predictions about the future of rural healthcare. The CSRHA has been a go-to resource for rural healthcare and community leaders since 1995. The CSRHA brings an accumulation of actionable insights to the next generation of rural healthcare leaders. For more information visit our website at csrha.org
