In this episode of Within Reach, rural oncologist Dr. Wade Swenson joins Evan Young and Ryan Taggart to expose the widening cancer mortality gap between rural and urban communities, and what it will actually take to close it. 

From 75‑mile drives for chemotherapy to food insecurity, broadband deserts, and decentralised clinical trials, they explore how innovation, policy, and trust can bring truly equitable oncology care to patients far beyond major cancer centres.
