June 14, 2019 by Joe Sparks

Episode 14: Health Care in Rural America is now available on Podbean, Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and Tune In.

My guest, Dina van der Zalm, discusses health care problems faced by rural Americans.  

Ms. van der Zahm has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from New York University. After a brief stint with corporate America, she joined the Peace Corps. She worked in Lanzhou, China teaching English for two years on the edge of the Gobi Desert. When she completed her Peace Corps service, she moved to Missouri where she attended the University of Missouri and received her MSW and Masters of Public Health in 2016. 

She has been working as a Health Care Organizer at the Missouri Rural Crisis Center for three years. 

Do not miss episode 14 as it discusses the unique and common problems that rural Americans have obtaining and affording health care.
