State of Rural

Rural healthcare in Oregon is heading into its most consequential three years in a generation — federal money flowing out, transformation money flowing in, and every deadline landing on the same small towns. State of Rural is your weekly guide to what it all means. Every week, health strategist Ari Powell rounds up the news that actually matters for rural health in Oregon, reports what she's seeing on the road in the communities doing the work, and gives you her honest take on where it's all headed. Most weeks it's just Ari; every so often, a longer conversation with someone worth hearing from — a hospital CEO, a clinic director, a policymaker, or somebody on the front lines. Ari is founder of Powell Strategy Group, a healthcare strategy firm in Bend, and leads Global Health Leaders. Her current work takes her all over the state supporting rural health strategy across Oregon. The views on this show are Ari's alone and don't represent the Oregon Health Authority, OHSU, the Oregon Off
