On May 3rd,  The Appalachian Regional Healthcare System (ARHS) Board of Trustees and the UNC Health Board of Directors announced the approval of a comprehensive, long-term Management Services Agreement (MSA) between the two organizations to expand local health care services and improve access to resources for patients in the High Country region of North Carolina.

What does this agreement include? How will it impact access to quality health care in the High Country? To get the answers to these questions, and to put a few rumors to rest, this week's installment of Mind Your Business features Chuck Mantooth, President/CEO of Appalachian Regional Healthcare System. Here his comments about why this arrangement was sought and how it will change the way patients communicate with their heath providers.

Mind Your Business is produced weekly  by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce, thanks to a partnership between Appalachian Commercial Real Estate and High Country Radio.
