Appalachia Meets World Episode 100 - ”Appalachian Health” with Randy Wykoff (Part 2)

In Part 1 of the discussion on "Appalachian Health", Dr. Wykoff discusses his book, "Appalachian Health: Culture, Challenges and Capacity."  On this episode, Part 2, Dr. Wykoff discusses overall healthcare challenges and potential opportunities in Appalachia, and the importance of connecting healthcare with economic prosperity and job creation.  Take a listen to the follow up conversation and hear the guys get a little more personal with Dr. Wykoff and the significance of "staying" and making East Tennessee State Universities College of Public Health the "best little college of Public Health in the entire country."  You also might hear about a recommendation of Neil's and what he thinks about fine wine and expensive shoes - not to mention his new tagline for Easter.  Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz of the week: Hazard Coffee Company!
