Matt Coleman

Director,
Kentucky Office of Rural Health

Bio

Matt Coleman is the Director of the Kentucky Office of Rural Health at the University of Kentucky Center of Excellence in Rural Health. A proud product of rural Kentucky (and not afraid to brag about it), Matt has spent time championing better health, stronger communities, and the occasional spreadsheet. He’s worn many hats—educator, opportunity builder, health advocate—but his favorite might just be "connector of people who get things done." When he’s not building partnerships to improve healthcare access, he’s probably chasing after one of his four kids or dreaming up ways to fix rural health with caffeine and common sense.
