The Nevada Democratic Party saw two of their members, Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones and Chairwoman Daniele Monroe-Moreno, make headlines this week that were critical of their recent actions: Jones was sanctioned by a judge for deleting text messages related to developer Jim Rhodes' efforts to build homes in Red Rock Canyon — some people even called for his resignation at a public comment meeting. Meanwhile, the GOP criticized Monroe-Moreno for comments she made about parents in a discussion on school choice. But was she taken out of context? Also, Governor Lombardo's administration seeks a new building near the airport in place of their current downtown office, which they say is dilapidated.

California: 40 million people, 12% of the USA, 52 House Representatives (down from 53), 1 of 2 senators up for (re)election, a slew of top Democrats up for re-election, including Gavin Newsom. It's not always clear which way to go here, and of the nine offices, I'm splitting my vote somewhat evenly between Dems and Reps, because I think conservatives do have ideas and attitudes worth injecting to our suffering state. I value balance more than anything, and despise ideological indoctrination, so it's worth finding opportunities to side with people who see the world differently. I'll also be abstaining from a few races, including Governor, because neither candidate sits well with me.

In this special episode of Rural Matters, Michelle chats with Brian Alexander, author of the powerful best-selling book, “The Hospital: Life, Death, and Dollars in a Small American Town.”  During the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) annual meeting on October 13, 2021, Michelle and Brian were featured speakers for a session they called, “Candid Conversations.”  During this episode, Michelle talks with Brian about his book as told through the lens of a small town hospital in Bryan, Ohio.  The critically-acclaimed book covers how an individual's race, social/economic standing, and zip code can affect or determine their health and whether or not they can access vital health care services. "The Hospital shows how fragile our country's health care was even before the pandemic, and how that fragility affects staff and administration as well as patients."―The Washington Post Continuing the conversation, Michelle and Brian discuss his take on NOSORH's National Rural Health Day theme of the 4 R's: Resiliency, Relationships, Readiness, and Resolve.  They also discuss Brian's views on the challenges that rural communities and health care face in the future and field questions from listeners. “Nobody would make this (health care) system 100 years ago. If you start with that… there may be room to say, let's blow it up. But we need to be honest about what disruptions that would cause. It is 19% of the American economy… the disruption would be enormous. If we are willing to do that, we can have a much better system, but I think that we can start with the commonality that nobody likes it.” - Brian Alexander. Stay tuned for more Candid Conversations in 2022.  To follow Michelle and today's guest, you can find them @MRBImpact and @BrianRAlexander on Twitter.  You can also read about NOSORH's 2021 Community Stars here.

In support of National Rural Health Day 2021, the CSRHA has curated together four insightful episodes from the This Is Rural Health podcast.  WHAT IS NATIONAL RURAL HEALTH DAY? Since 2011, the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health, the 50 State Offices of Rural Health, and rural health stakeholders from across the country have set aside the third Thursday of November to celebrate National Rural Health Day (NRHD). This day promotes the “Power of Rural,” which brings much-needed attention to the ongoing efforts to communicate, educate, collaborate, and innovate to improve the health of an estimated 57 million rural Americans. Over the years, NRHD has transformed from a daylong event to a sustainable movement. To learn more visit: https://www.powerofrural.org/ (powerofrural.org) To learn more about the CSRHA you can visit our website at https://www.csrha.org (csrha.org) Thank you and enjoy this special series celebrating National Rural Health Day on November 18, 2021. --- Today, we are joined by a panel from Western University of Health Sciences, one of the largest medical schools in the US. Facilitating the discussion is CSRHA board member and treasurer Jeff Dunbar. Jeff is the CEO of OffSite Care (OSC), a multispecialty telemedicine company. In this episode, the panel explores the topic of training the physicians of the future and how telemedicine can be an effective tool to prepare them for rural patient care. You'll hear from Di Lacy, Assistant Vice President, Oregon Campus.  “We really did prove for a year that many different sectors can work off-site. Those folks are looking at rural locations [to live]. I think healthcare has got to pay attention to that and we've got to be able to have physicians that really understand how that demographic is changing.” Gregory Pecchia, Senior Director, Academic Innovation and Telehealth, provides a look at some of the challenges that practitioners face with telehealth. “Prior to the pandemic, the literature anecdotally documented the effectiveness of appropriately used virtual care to bridge the quality chasm inherent in many rural health care settings. The pandemic, of course, accelerated the use of such tools sometimes successfully and sometimes not as successfully as one might have otherwise hoped.” Dr. Katsaros, Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine shares an insider's view on how students are adapting to telehealth training.  “It's really fun to see as an educator. To see the excitement in a student and to know that really this is something that's going to contribute to his educational experience in the future and contribute to the way he practices in the future.”  Dr. Sanchez, Assistant Dean for the Office of Academic Affairs shares the evolving approach to curriculum development.  “The walls of the traditional doctor's offices are now dissolved. And there is no distance between the doctor and the patient with a virtual visit. Now that it's becoming a standard and widely adopted, that's a skill set that the doctors need to have moving forward.” Rounding out the panel discussion is Dr. Loveless, Chief Medical Officer at WesternU Health. He highlights for us how today's student physicians are well-positioned to step into telehealth environments such as asynchronous medicine and the value this brings to rural health. “I think a big element that is also going to be beneficial in the rural setting is the notion of asynchronous telemedicine. The real challenge, I think, is less around teaching our students and our patients how to do it. It's around figuring out how we're going to get paid for those kinds of interactions.”  --- The CSRHA has been a go-to resource for rural healthcare and community leaders since 1995.

We hear how the Office of Oral Health is stepping up to the challenge of meeting new pent-up demand and about the many developments on the horizon with the upcoming state budget approval.  Programs like CalAIM, which is putting a huge investment into medical and dental care, have strong potential for impact. Still, we also have a long way to go regarding education on the patient side and the effort to rebuild small businesses. We have many things to look forward to in the coming months, and our conversation today with our friends from the California Dental Association gives us insight into what's to come. --- The CSRHA has been a go-to resource for rural healthcare and community leaders since 1995.

Dr. Ayala is the 2020 winner of the Community Star Award from the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health and serves as the Medical Director for over 50 ambulatory clinics in central California. We start our conversation by reflecting on the year that 2020 was and how learning to pivot was key to being able to offer continuous care to the community.  One innovative project he is working on is creating virtual care for the homeless. During this difficult time with COVID-19, virtual care was expanded across all clinics. As a result, Dr. Ayala and team collaborated with a local non-profit organization and started providing virtual care for homeless camps. We also discuss the importance of attracting physicians to rural health and hear about the innovative programs Dr. Ayala is championing to make that happen. An advocate for continuing medical education, with his leadership the Central Valley Network will welcome its third graduate medical education residency program in Family Medicine that now includes a Rural Track in Sonora. This will create opportunities to train future physicians that will help fill the gap of physician shortages.  Dr. Ayala offers some great advice for stepping forward into the 2021 with confidence and we're so glad to have him as our inaugural guest on the show. --- The CSRHA has been a go-to resource for rural healthcare and community leaders since 1995.

The Michigan Center for Rural Health (MCRH) is one of only three non-profit State Offices of Rural Health (SORH) in the country. As Michigan’s SORH, MCRH plays a key role in rural health care by assisting in the creation and implementation of partnerships among organizations, health departments, hospitals, government, and academia. Those collaborations and alliances go on to create new opportunities in the areas of network development, quality of care, emergency medical services, continuing education, and recruitment and retention of rural health care providers. In this episode, we sit down with MCRH EMS Program Manager Andrea Abbas, to discuss the MCRH’s mission to continue to advocate for and advance rural health within the State of Michigan.

Welcome to this special episode of Rural Health Leadership Radio in celebration of National Rural Health Day. The National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health, otherwise known as NOSORH, sets aside the third Thursday of every November to celebrate National Rural Health Day. This year’s celebration will take place on Thursday, November the 19th. While National Rural Health Day is a special day, Rural Health Leadership Radio tries to make every day a National Rural Health Day by living our mission to improve the world by engaging rural health leaders in conversations, learning, and research. In celebration of National Rural Health Day, we’re having a conversation with Jillian Bohl, a pre-med student at Fort Hayes State University. Jillian is the very first recipient of the Juanita and Earl Bartholomew Scholarship. Rural Health Leadership Radio created the Juanita and Earl Bartholomew Scholarship to help a recent high school graduate who wants to work in rural health to help pay for their education. “I want to move back to my hometown because when I decide to have a family someday, I want to know that my family is in a safe environment, where everyone knows everyone.” ~Jillian Bohl Jillian Bohl is currently a freshman at Fort Hays State University in Kansas. She is the oldest of four children and her family lives on a farm in Phillips County, Kansas.

Michelle chats with Jessica Ames, Programs & Events Coordinator at. Angel Flight East, which provides free flights for individuals who need medical treatment far from home, with a footprint in 14 states. The flights are totally paid for by the pilots themselves, Ames says. The passengers do not have to pay for the flights, whether they need five flights a year or dozens of flights. According to Ames, pilots enjoy this volunteer experience because it pairs their passion for flying with being able to meet a distinct need of patients requiring medical attention. She describes how the company developed its Rural and Rare Reach Initiative, funded by the AmerisourceBergen Foundation, in association with State Offices of Rural Health and others in six states: Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and Maryland. Ames also describes how her company transported face shields and other PPE to rural hospitals and other health care providers during this pandemic — at no cost. The company resumed flights last month, Ames notes. This episode was sponsored by Angel Flight East,  www.angelflighteast.org.

In the past decade, 120 rural hospitals have closed—leaving many vulnerable Americans without care. As communities age, medical care is becoming harder to find due to the shortage of physicians in rural areas. On top of that, the COVID-19 pandemic is shining even more of a light on the growing health disparities faced by rural communities and the emerging needs of the rural health workforce. On this episode, speakers will discuss the impact of COVID-19 on rural health infrastructure and workforce, and how to improve these conditions in rural communities. We hear from three leaders who work in states with high rural healthcare needs and vast provider shortages to learn how to increase access to quality healthcare in rural areas, barriers that exist, and innovative strategies for rural health workforce recruitment and retention.

COVID-19 is amplifying why systemic racism in America is a public health issue. Communities of color are being disproportionately burdened by this pandemic due to persistent inequities that increase their risk to more severe bouts of COVID-19 and death. America is currently engaged in dual crises to stop the spread of COVID-19 and to advance racial justice. On this episode, speakers will address both issues and highlight the importance of public health agencies leading with and integrating equity in their COVID-19 response. We hear from three leaders managing their COVID-19 response by prioritizing areas with the greatest need and supporting community-led decision-making to ensure the most socially vulnerable populations have increased access to treatment, testing, isolation options, and resources. Speakers: Joneigh Khaldun, MD, Chief Medical Executive and Chief Deputy Director for Department of the Michigan Department Health and Human Services Nicole Alexander-Scott, MD, MPH, Director of the Rhode Island Department of Health; ASTHO Board Member and Past-President Rudy Macklin, Director of the Bureau of Minority Health Access, Louisiana Department of Health; Board Member, National Association of State Offices of Minority Health (Louisiana)   Resources: How to Address COVID-19 in Communities of Color [ASTHO] Promoting Health Equity through State Orders for COVID-19 Testing [ASTHO] Health Equity During COVID-19: Top Strategies for an Equity-Focused Recovery Strategy [ASTHO] Why We Need Race and Ethnicity Data to Beat COVID-19 [ASTHO] COVID-19 Response Health Equity Strategy: Accelerating Progress Towards Reducing COVID-19 Disparities and Achieving Health Equity [CDC] CDC Health Equity Considerations and Racial and Ethnic Minority Groups [CDC] The House Ways and Means Committee Hearing on The Disproportionate Impact of COVID-19 on Communities of Color [United States House of Representatives] The COVID Racial Data Tracker [The Atlantic]

Eisinger notes that Natural Rural Health Day started about a decade ago as a way of garnering attention to the good work done by stakeholders in rural health and to the disparities that exist in rural communities. Eisinger discusses the value of the organic partnerships focusing on the needs of rural constituents, specifically citing the Community Star program, which this year has more than 100 nominations. Madden discusses the honor of winning the National Rural Health Association award and the significance of the slogan her organization coined —The Power of Rural.  Sabgir talks about the importance of physical activity, including the recent study by the Cleveland Clinic, and why his program provides the follow-up needed to better ensure patients actually participate in physical activity. There are now 431 chapters of Walk with a Doc in the United States, he notes, deploying the one-hour walk with a care provider—resulting in demonstrable positive outcomes. Eisinger and Madden also provide specific examples of the interconnection between rural health activities, and rural schools and education, and business.
