HPIO is hosting a free webinar on Aug. 21, titled “Spotlight on rural health: Innovative solutions for equity and access.”
 
Ensuring access to medical services in rural areas can significantly improve health outcomes and reduce disparities. State-wide improvement is possible by identifying and sharing the most effective strategies being used by local partners to address the distinct care needs of rural communities. 
 
The webinar will highlight rural healthcare infrastructure, access and health disparities. Speakers will explore unique health equity challenges in a rural context, how policy change can address challenges in rural healthcare access, and strategies for local and state policymakers to address workforce and specialist shortages in rural areas.
