๐ Rural Roots: A Road Less Travelled
In this episode of Rural Roots: A Road Less Travelled, we sit down with Brooke Belanger, In-House Counsel for North Country Healthcare, for a candid and engaging conversation about law, leadership, and the human side of healthcare compliance.
Brooke shares her journey from public defense to healthcare law and how her experiences across state policy, Medicaid development, and hospital compliance shaped her approach to legal counsel. We talk about what it means to make complex systems understandable, the importance of clarity and communication in healthcare policy, and how thoughtful leadership helps teams make confident, ethical decisions.
Through humor, insight, and deep commitment to community well-being, Brooke reminds us that doing things โby the bookโ can also be done with heart.
Tune in for a refreshing conversation about trust, transparency, and what it means to serve with integrity in rural healthcare.
