Dr. Rosa Harper

Director, Rivermont Health Collaborative

About

Rosa Harper has run the district's community health partnership for eleven years, and spent the four before that as a nurse practitioner on the Fairmount round. She speaks about what it actually costs to put a clinic within walking distance of a household — in money, in staffing, and in the political patience required to keep one open through a lean budget year. Her talks are built around the district's own numbers, which she publishes ahead of every appearance.
