There are roughly 60 million Americans living in rural parts of the country, about 20% of them over 65 years old. Jennifer Conner is vice president of rural health for Health Strategies for the American Heart Association. She visited Ozarks at Large's Kyle Kellams to talk about an urgent need to address health in rural America, where people tend to have shorter lives due to a lack of access to health care.
Kyle Kellams is KUAF's news director and host of Ozarks at Large.
