What do you love about rural healthcare?

I have spent my career in rural health and am passionate about the work we do here at ICAHN to support our member hospitals. Rural hospitals are the backbone of their communities — often serving as the largest employer, the primary source of healthcare, and a key contributor to local stability and well-being. When a rural hospital struggles, the entire community feels the impact, from limited access to care to economic decline. Every year it seems to get a little tougher for rural health providers, but I have the privilege of working with hospital leaders and staff who are passionate about what they do and who face many challenges with an attitude of positiveness. It is inspiring to be part of group of people who are always working to make healthcare and people’s lives better in the communities they serve. Advocating for and supporting our member hospitals through education, resources, and collaboration, helps rural hospitals succeed. I am honored to play a role in this success.
