From Bedside to Webside Manner: Telehealth's Impact on Rural Healthcare

Episode Summary Recorded live at ViVE 2026 in Los Angeles, Bradley Bostic sits down with Dave Newman (Digital Health) and Brad Reimer (CIO) from Sanford Health to explore how one of the nation's largest rural health systems is redefining care delivery. Serving 2 million patients across 320,000 square miles, Sanford Health is proving that innovation doesn't only happen in major urban health systems. From virtual care infrastructure funded by a $350M investment to AI tools that restore the human connection between doctors and patients, Sanford is building a new model for rural healthcare. The conversation explores how virtual care, AI, and data governance are helping clinicians spend more time with patients while expanding access across the Upper Midwest. A key insight: technology works best when it returns healthcare to what matters most — the relationship between doctor and patient.
