Ep. 169: Innovations in Primary Care: Independent & Rural Practices

This week on Faisel and Friends, we are discussing Innovations in Primary Care: Independent & Rural Practices. Dan moderates a panel discussion with Dr. Jim Lancaster, Sonya J. Bruton, Psy.D, Tim Gronniger, and Carrie Cochran-McClain, DrPH.

Our conversation explores providing important care for small communities, solving the workforce shortage in rural practices, and addressing the financial barriers that independent practices face.

This conversation was recorded live at Primary Care for America’s annual event PrimaryCare25.
