Ensuring Health Across Rural Minnesota in 2030

02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
National Rural Health Resource Center

The Center partnered with The College of St. Scholastica (The College) to conduct a study with funding from the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research that examines trends and disruptors within the rural health care environment that will influence access to affordable, quality health care across rural Minnesota in 2030. The study examines current trends and, in parallel, what disruptors may occur that could affect community members' access to quality, affordable care in rural areas.

"The Center was honored to conduct this study with a future lens of access to affordable, quality healthcare in 2030," says Sally T. Buck, CEO of the National Rural Health Resource Center. "The identified disruptors and projections are applicable to small rural hospitals, rural health clinics and communities nationally, as well as the recommendations for ensuring rural health."
