Podcast release date: June 23, 2020

In this inaugural episode of Managing from the Middle: Leading Through Change 6-part podcast series, listeners will begin to understand the transition to value-based care and population health and why mid-level management plays a critical role. Joining the conversation are Kyle Southerland, Special Projects and Community Health Coordinator with Bacon County Hospital in Georgia and Terry Hill, Senior Advisor for Rural Health Leadership and Policy at the National Rural Health Resource Center.

“You first have to realize that there is a change that is relevant, not just to leadership or mid-level managers, it’s relevant to the entire organization.”
