78 | The Impact of Local Healthcare | The Small Nation Podcast Featuring Chad Ross
This is episode 78 of the Small Nation Podcast! This podcast is created for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, economic development, and small town success. If you talk to enough communities, you will quickly identify how beneficial it is to have a local healthcare provider in your small town. Their service usually goes above and beyond providing healthcare. They tend to be one of the biggest employers of small towns and play a big role in community development. In Bellefontaine, Ohio, Mary Rutan Health is no exception. Listen as President and CEO, Chad Ross, talks about his perspective of their role in the community.

    Yeah right here's a biggest problem with that... You're not a lobbyist, with a lot of Intrest's money for them to listen to. And without even enough $$$ lettuce to even RENT an inturn with the power to bend a politician's ear a little your concern itself will never even be HEARD, let alone acted upon, with in even a token gesture!

    One of my favorite episodes to date. There is a reason Texas could not have Ben and his family yet -Because we need them here! Without getting too long winded here just really want him to know that this small shop owner appreciates what he and the other Chamber members are doing -Much respect. I would definitely say do not rule out smaller investors in regard to the hotel situation. A 50k buy in may be too much for many here but a 10k buy in with sweat equity is definitely something people in this community are up for. And who cares more about the community than the people who live here? I mean we have a vested interest in its success. Thank you Small Nation I appreciate you sharing this information. Communities are better when we all work together 🙌🔥💯 “if we want to go far… go together “

    At 0:30 The man in the white shirt pulling up on his hat for a good laugh is my grandpa James A. Kennedy Sr. He retired from the railroad in 1977 and I am guessing that film is somewhere between 1947 and 1953. Wow! I got out the old photo album and the 3rd guy from the left is also in a photo with grandpa that I have.

    I remember when all the factories started closing in the late 70’s, that’s when Bellefontaine began to die. If it wasn’t for Honda making a major investment in this area it would still be dead despite your best intentions. The transformation has been amazing and I commend you for that but don’t forget us blue collar folks.✌️🎸

    I’m glad that this is happening. I was a boy in Bellefontaine and DeGraff in the 70s, and it was gutting to see the death of my hometown. I always wanted to settle down there and start a small woodshop, but the decay and decline was so pronounced that I could not. I’m glad that someone else saw the potential there. Bless you all and good fortune to you!
