While the health problems in rural Kentucky are well-reported, much less visible are the community and health care leaders who work to improve conditions. Remaking Rural Health: A KET Special Report explores how advocates across the state are making innovative changes locally to deliver the health care rural Kentuckians need. The program airs tonight at 8 p.m. CT on KET and Monday, Feb. 13 at 9 p.m. CT on KET2.
Due to alarmingly high rates of cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes, Kentuckians are dying younger and living more unhealthy lives than people in nearly every other state. While these problems affect all Kentuckians, they disproportionately impact rural Kentuckians.
Remaking Rural Health: A KET Special Report looks at several ways in which health care advocates and practitioners are working to improve conditions, including, but certainly not limited to: prevention, strategic use of nurse practitioners, enhanced community outreach and more.
