Episode 3: Community Engagement in Action -- Laurens County Public Library Collaborative Health Hub

Welcome (back) to the Visionary Nurse® Podcast! The purpose of the podcast is to accompany the work I do as a Community Health Consultant and Coach and Mentor for Nurses (and beyond!), and designed to educate, uplift, and support each other as we dare to be influentially visionary!  As there are so many shifts in healthcare, and many are looking to innovatively expand their knowledge in a variety of settings, it's more important than ever to create sustainable and collaborative changes that cross sectors to influence access to care, business growth, the operation of organizations and institutions, and how we continue to navigate the many changes in our society. In this episode I feature community partners from various organizations to discuss collaborative access to healthcare in rural areas.
