Two legendary family physicians from Mississippi, together again!

Both were in Lexington, KY, October 4 for the ABFM's 50th Anniversary Celebration. Dr. Beebe reports to us that Dr. Johnston is "her hero."

Task Force Releases Health Report
Following nine rural hospital bankruptcies since 2010, the
Mississippi Rural Health Task Force Report was released last week to the Mississippi Legislature with recommendations on policy changes to avoid the closure of rural hospitals in the state.
One of the task force's recommendations to the Mississippi Legislature that specifically affects primary care was to increase the amount of scholarship monies for the MS Rural Physicians Scholarship Program and to work with Office of Mississippi Physician Workforce to increase the number of rural residency programs in the state.
The report noted that of Mississippi's population of 2.9 million people, about 65-67% of Mississippians are insured, compared to 91% of Americans. A recent study stated that 48% of Mississippi's 64 rural hospitals are at "high financial risk."
