What does the future of rural healthcare look like after the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act? In this powerful episode, Jeff Slakey sits down with Eric Moll, CEO of Mason Health, to unpack the fears, facts, and forward-looking strategies surrounding recent Medicaid and Medicare cuts included in the bill signed on July 4, 2025.
Mason General Hospital was listed among rural hospitals that may be impacted, sparking widespread community concern. But Eric delivers a message of clarity and reassurance: Mason Health is not closing. Instead, he outlines the hospital’s strong financial position, long-term vision, and proactive measures to expand access through telehealth, mobile care, home health, and strategic partnerships.
Listen and learn how AI is revolutionizing healthcare delivery, why specialty services like OBGYN and cardiology remain strong, and how Mason Health plans to support thousands who may lose Medicaid coverage in 2027. This is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of community healthcare in Mason County and beyond.
