Let's Talk About Health: Rural Healthcare Conference
Friday, May 8, 9am-4pm
A VIRTUAL conference for healthcare professionals and caregivers serving older adults in rural areas.
Access to healthcare and other supportive services are critical to maintaining good health as we age, yet older adults in rural areas face a variety of access barriers. These challenges are topics not often covered in health professions education. The goal of this conference is to identify and mitigate the challenges of providing healthcare in rural areas by increasing knowledge of population health data, treatment strategies, and support and services in order to encourage and build resilience in rural caregivers and healthcare providers.
