Welcome to the Pioneers in Health podcast.

Here, we share inspiring stories of pioneering leaders working to improve health. We bring you guests from our state, from our nation and from your backyard to tell their stories of how they broke new ground and changed the landscape of health care. 

In episode seven, we interview Brock Slabach, the Chief Operating Officer at the National Rural Health Association (NRHA). The NRHA is a national nonprofit that brings together thousands of members to provide leadership on rural health issues through advocacy, communications, education and research.

Brock grew up in rural Kansas and worked as a rural hospital administrator for more than 20 years before joining the NRHA. He is an expert on rural health, payment and delivery reform, and improving access to health care.

In this episode, he discusses the future of rural health care, including:

• How the face of rural communities is changing
• The need for innovative payment models that can improve care
• Approaches to attracting and retaining a work force
• Maternal health deserts and how they impact rural communities

And more! Listen now, and learn more how Brock and the NRHA are pioneering leaders in health care.
