Reimagining Rural Health Policy, featuring Tony Pipa

How can rural policy be reimagined to better meet the needs of rural communities in the 21st century?  On July 30, KHI hosted the second Health on the Plains Coffee Hour with a conversation featuring Tony Pipa, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution’s Center for Sustainable Development. The session focused on the ways rural policy – particularly at the federal level – can be reimagined to better meet the needs and opportunities of rural communities. Tony shared insights on the complexity of navigating federal programs for rural development, the ways funding requirements can become barriers for rural communities, and the value of investing in local people and institutions.
