UMTRC Podcasts
Our latest podcast, episode 14, was published June 18th and highlights the work of the Georgia Department of Health, who have integrated telehealth into their interactions with their WIC participants. Our program director, Becky Sanders, had the opportunity to speak with Suleima Salgado, the Director of Telehealth and Telemedicine and Rural Health Initiatives for the Georgia Department of Public Health.
You can access our podcasts through our website or subscribe to them on your favorite podcast platform! New episodes are typically released on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month. Our first few episodes have highlighted different programs at the Indiana Rural Health Association, since our UMTRC program would not be possible without them! We are now reaching out to our partners throughout our 4-state region of IL, IN, MI, and OH. If you have a suggestion for a future topic, or would like us to interview you, please complete the form at Podcast Inquiry.
