Every rural Nevada County is considered an MSU, medically underserved, something like that medically underserved community. So what we have from a workforce perspective, I think what we've realized is we need to develop talent, homegrown talent.
Imagine living in a rural area where healthcare is scarce, and addiction is a looming challenge. In this eye-opening episode of 'Recovery and Company', host Jake Wiskerchen sits down with Erik Schoen, the Executive Director of Community Chest, to explore the unique struggles and triumphs of rural Nevada. Erik shares his personal experiences and the transformative tools that have helped him grow emotionally and spiritually.
He delves into the critical shortage of healthcare providers in these areas and the pressing need to cultivate local talent, such as community health workers and peer support specialists. The conversation also touches on how Covid-19 has underscored the importance of mental and emotional health services, further amplifying the need for community investment. Erik’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience and community support in overcoming addiction.
This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories, making it a must-listen for anyone impacted by addiction or interested in rural healthcare challenges.
