In each episode, we explore the unique challenges and triumphs of healthcare in rural Kentucky, with topics ranging from preventative care to the latest innovations in rural healthcare delivery. We talk to experts, frontline healthcare workers, and community members to shed light on the resilience and resourcefulness that define our communities. 

Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a policymaker, or simply passionate about improving healthcare access in rural areas, this podcast is for you!

The Bridge is published through a joint effort of the UK Center of Excellence in Rural Health (UK CERH) and the Kentucky Office of Rural Health (KORH). The Bridge is funded in part by federal grant funds from the Health Resources and Services Administration Primary Care Office.

The UK CERH, established in 1990, addresses health disparities in rural Kentucky
through health professionals’ education, health policy research, health care service, and
community engagement. The Center serves as the federally-designated Kentucky Office of Rural Health.

The KORH, established in 1991, is a federal-state partnership authorized by federal legislation. The mission of the KORH is to support the health and well-being of Kentuckians by promoting access to rural health services. The KORH assists clinicians, administrators, and consumers in finding ways to improve communications, finances, and access to quality health care while ensuring that funding agencies and policymakers are made aware of the needs of rural communities. The KORH receives support from the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) in the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
