Perspectives from a Rural Georgia Physician

Join Glenda Grant, executive director of the Georgia Rural Health Innovation Center, as she speaks with Dr. Jean Sumner, dean of Mercer University School of Medicine, about her journey from a rural upbringing to leading efforts to improve health care in rural Georgia. They discuss the School of Medicine’s mission to train physicians for rural Georgia, the transformative Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Initiative, and the resilience of rural communities. Hear inspiring stories, challenges in rural health care, and the impact of building trust and collaboration to create healthier futures.
