Minnesota Governor and Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz is helping roll out a proposal designed to address rural healthcare shortages. He says it’s critical
“Folks think they know rural America, you’re hearing costs of things, you’re hearing lack of access to child care. You’re hearing the hospital and ambulance issues, and this addresses that. So I’m really proud of it,” Walz said.
The plan includes financial aid for medical students who commit to practicing in rural areas, Walz hopes it could lead to those professionals staying around past their mandatory commitment.
