Pioneers in Health: Benjamin Anderson, Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System

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 six, we interview Benjamin Anderson, who returned earlier this year to Kansas to serve as president and CEO of Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System.

Benjamin is nationally known for his work leading rural hospitals and developing innovative, mission-focused provider recruitment efforts. He understands the importance of engaging diverse, underserved populations and non-profit partners. 

In this episode, he discusses how he’s helped hospitals design systems to improve health outcomes and serve diverse communities that were previously underserved.

He also discusses innovative ways they have improved recruitment and retention of physicians, as well as the importance of building relationships with those in your community.

Benjamin also discusses his journey from a conservative skeptic of Medicaid expansion to an advocate for expansion as a critical piece of improving access to care and strengthening rural hospitals’ finances.

Listen now, and learn more how Benjamin is a pioneering leader in health care.
