“Tory Starr is worried about the people who get medical care at Open Door Community Health Centers along California’s North Coast,” reports Sarah Jane Tribble for KFF News.
“They’re the folks that work at restaurants. They’re the teacher’s aides,” said Starr, a registered nurse who became Open Door’s chief executive more than six years ago. Those patients, he said, are “really the heart and soul of rural America.”
He said if his remote health centers don’t get a share of the billions of dollars Congress earmarked to transform health care in rural America, patients may soon lose services.
