AHA’s Advancing Health podcast booth captures rural conference insights 
For the second consecutive year, speakers and attendees at the 2024 Rural Health Care Leadership Conference recorded Advancing Health podcasts live on site. The recordings cover a range of topics addressed during the event, including behavioral health and prenatal care, workforce challenges, cybersecurity, virtual training, governance, and the rural emergency hospital model.

The podcast recordings feature AHA leaders such as Michelle Hood, executive vice president and chief operating officer; John Riggi, national advisor for cybersecurity and risk; and John Supplitt, senior director for field engagement and rural health services, among others, as well as participants from AHA member hospitals. Watch for their public release through AHA’s Advancing Health podcast in the coming months.
