Jason Rounds
Description
Jason Rounds, CEO of San Juan Regional Medical Center, will be joining us to give a behind-the-scenes look at how healthcare funding helps keep critical services available right here in our community. He’ll share how programs like the Healthcare Delivery and Access Act support services such as emergency care, childbirth, and behavioral health at SJRMC—and what it means for the future of healthcare in the Four Corners. It should be an interesting and informative conversation about something that impacts all of us locally.
