The Future of Rural and Northern Health Care in Canada - Dr. James Rourke

Recorded session from the Canadian Conference on Rural & Northern Health Care.  

The Future of Rural and Northern Health Care in Canada 

In this 34 minute podcast  Dr. Rourke presents contrasting visions of a realities-based dystopian future and a possibilities-based utopian future. After a visualization exercise, he uses 16 Canadian examples to shine a light on 4 essential areas: Rural Mental Health, Maternity Care, Primary  Health Care, and Rural Emergencies and Transfers. He closes with 4 vital future directions: Rural Health Research, Rural Health Care Plans, Networks of Care, and the Quadruple Aim Rural HHR.
