To give you an idea of scale (about telehealth) we went from 3 video visits a day prior to the pandemic, to about 1500 video visits a day in April (2021). The resiliency at the beginning of this was just... trudging through all of the regulatory (issues) and people not interested. Then the resiliency when it all blew up just trying to hold on for dear life... (we) had to scale it in rapid form.

One thing that makes rural health so resilient is that it is a close, tight-knit community.

I am always impressed with the resiliency of the farm workers that we serve... Most of our farm workers are migrants, so they are far away from home... staying with people they don’t know very well. They are working 6 days a week... and they stay so resilient.

“When you are resilient, you have got to be willing to push forward, when others are not pushing forward. When you fail, you’ve got to learn from it. You’ve got to get back up and you’ve got to try again.  I think that is a really good word for rural.”
