Ruralite The Podcast

As the pandemic took hold across the country last year, health care workers everywhere wrestled with a troubling contradiction: How could they create a sense of togetherness when all guidance told them to keep their distance?

Local artists and health care workers would come together to deliver relief, hope and inspiration — all through the healing power of creativity. This episode was written by Drew Woolley.
