The health and wellbeing of employees and their families is an essential part of a high-functioning business. The realities and experiences of life during the pandemic brought new focus toward how business owners can prioritize employee well-being, while also shining light on the available heathcare resources in our region.

UNC Health Appalachian, formerly Appalachian Regional Healthcare System, has worked to evolve their services and facilities to meet the ever-changing healthcare needs in the High Country. How has the system adapted to demographic changes to our community? How are they addressing efficiency through technology? What are the driving forces behind hiring staff for one of the High Country's largest employers?

On this week's Mind Your Business, we tackle these questions and more as we visit with Chuck Mantooth, President/CEO of UNC Health Appalachian, as we ask, "What's Going On with Healthcare in the High Country."

Mind Your Business is a weekly production of the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. The program is made possible thanks to the sponsorship support of Appalachian Commercial Real Estate.
