Rural healthcare leaders are navigating some of the most complex operational challenges in the industry—often with fewer resources, tighter margins, and higher stakes for their communities.
In this episode of Healthspark, Dr. Ginger Raya sits down with David Muns, a seasoned healthcare operations executive with more than 25 years of experience leading both large urban systems and rural facilities. From his personal leadership journey to his day-to-day work in rural hospital operations, David shares what it truly takes to keep care accessible, sustainable, and patient-centered outside of major metropolitan systems.
