- [00:00:00.692]My name is Marty Fattig, and I am the CEO
- [00:00:03.200]of Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn, Nebraska.
- [00:00:06.738]Health care is good for rural communities for the
- [00:00:10.861]obvious reason, providing care for those communities,
- [00:00:13.301]but it also provides a great economic benefit
- [00:00:16.524]to a rural community.
- [00:00:18.219]One job in healthcare relates
- [00:00:20.708]to one and a half jobs downtown.
- [00:00:25.154]And also of course, when you have a hospital in town
- [00:00:28.108]then you have pharmacies and you have dental practices
- [00:00:33.112]and you have clinical practices, so a lot of things
- [00:00:36.775]develop because of health care.
- [00:00:39.646]Rural communities, many of them are in jeopardy.
- [00:00:43.290]People are leaving the rural communities.
- [00:00:46.156]People in rural communities are getting older.
- [00:00:49.763]And many assets in those communities are going away.
- [00:00:54.897]We need to find some way to breathe new life
- [00:00:57.489]into these rural communities, and many different things
- [00:01:00.996]have been tried over the years, some with limited success
- [00:01:04.544]and some with no success.
- [00:01:06.455]But the Rural Futures Institute is approaching rural
- [00:01:10.823]economics in a totally different way, and I'm
- [00:01:13.743]proud to be a part of that.
