What does it take to lead—and thrive—in rural healthcare?
In a recent podcast episode by the Georgia Rural Health Innovation Center at Mercer University School of Medicine, Kerry Trapnell, CAO of Aletheia Health Partners, joins Glenda Grant, GRHIC Executive Director, along with Angela Handley, CEO of Clinch Memorial Hospital, and Damien Scott, CEO of Emanuel Medical Center. Together, they share the realities, rewards, and resilience behind rural hospital leadership, and the communities that fuel their purpose.
“You’ve got to invest in the 3 P’s: patients, people, and property. That’s what it takes. You’ve got to use every dollar wisely and put it into areas where you can grow revenue and services for the community. It’s full circle—you have to make money to be able to provide those services, but you also have to have the services people will come and utilize.” — Kerry Trapnell
