For example, in Eastern South Dakota, the health-care jobs are going to cluster in Sioux Falls, where people go to get health-care. From your perspective, that may be creating rural jobs, but I don't think people who live in Eastern South Dakota will see it that way.

There's a model I've seen gaining traction in flyover areas:
1. Set up practice or clinic in sticks;
2. Gobble up huge patient base due to lack of competition;
3. Flip to larger provider.
