Today we go four hours south to East Tennessee State University, to speak to two experts in “diseases of despair.” We learn about the ways Appalachians are responding to the opioid and COVID crises simultaneously, that often elude the national media, but prove our region’s resilience.

Ep. 28 - East Tennesee Rural Health Experts Robert Pack and Michael Meit (1 Mar 2021)

We’re talking about the bridge between rural and public health with Michael Meit, co-director of the NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis. “I am just blown away by our youth in our rural communities. They give me hope for the future. They excite me. They are out future leaders.” ~Michael Meit Michael serves as the Senior Fellow in the NORC at the University of Chicago Public Health Research Department as well as serving in his co-director position. He has spent over twenty years working to bridge research in the fields of rural health and public health, conducting extensive research through mixed-methods approaches. Michael hopes to create a better understanding of health disparities through this research. “Rather than focusing so much on rural challenges, I think we really need to tell the positive story about what is good and strong about Rural America.” ~Michael Meit Michael recently led studies covering rural food security issues in youths, rural disparities in overdose mortality, along with how strengths and assets can be leveraged to improve rural health equity. Before his role at the NORC, Michael worked in public health academia as the director of the University Of Pittsburgh Center for Rural Health Practice. Michael is also on the editorial and advisory boards for Public Health Reports, the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice, and the Journal of Appalachian Health.
