But in rural America, we see it every day In these areas — where access to primary and specialty care can be hundreds of miles away and reliable cell phone service is an issue — prevention is more important than ever. That’s why we’re working alongside community members and organizations to remove the barriers of health affecting our rural neighbors. It’s not just a one size fits all solution though. Every rural area is unique, like a fingerprint: When you’ve seen one rural area, you’ve only seen one. Watch our latest video highlighting our health impact work in places like Kentucky. The health and well-being of Appalachia and the residents of rural areas are critically important to our mission to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. I hope you’ll take a minute to learn more about this work — and what you can do right in your own community to ensure everyone has the opportunity to live longer, healthier lives.           Sincerely,     Raymond P.
