Episode Description

Today’s guest on Rural Health Today is Julie Soekoro, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Hamilton Health Care System in Dalton, Georgia. Rural hospitals face unique challenges in financial sustainability, but serve an irreplaceable role in our communities. Telling that story effectively will be key to closing the gap between the reality of rural health and how legislators understand the impact of policy. We’ll talk about nonprofit healthcare, the challenges of rural health income statements and of course, what it all has to do with rural health.
