Purple Blood: The Divide Between Rural and Urban Healthcare is the story of a doctor born into poverty who fulfilled his dream of becoming a physician and a healthcare administrator. Growing up in one of the largest cities in the country, he would have never imagined moving to North Carolina to take a role as chief medical officer in a small community hospital. There he witnessed significant differences in healthcare operations in comparison to his urban healthcare experiences. It would forever change his view of rural America while solidifying his commitment to health equity for all communities.​
