Rural Health Equity Basics

Compass Opioid Stewardship Mini Series on Health Equity and Health Disparities

“Where you live shouldn’t determine if you live not how well you live.” Hosts Dr. Don Stader, MD, and Dr. Rachael Duncan, PharmD, sit down to discuss how aspects unique to rural areas contribute to health disparities compared to urban areas. From a more restricted access to speciality care and demographic trends to environmental conditions and legislation, rural areas face different barriers to care that manifest in different outcomes for patients. Tune in to learn how this affects rural population health in general, as well as with respect to the opioid epidemic.
