The Telluride Foundation is hosting a free, open to the public panel discussion with local, regional, and state healthcare experts to explore obstacles and opportunities in rural healthcare delivery. “The Prognosis for Rural Care: A Conversation About Overcoming Barriers and Pioneering Solutions in Rural Healthcare” promises to shed light on critical issues impacting countless rural communities nationwide and innovative solutions in rural healthcare delivery.
Access to quality healthcare remains a challenge for many rural communities across America. Geographic isolation, scarce resources, and healthcare workforce shortage create formidable barriers to delivering essential medical services. However, many rural regions are boldly tackling these challenges head-on with innovative solutions. The conversation hosted by the Foundation will delve into the complexities surrounding rural healthcare delivery and explore broader state and national efforts striving to address healthcare disparities through creative delivery systems, policy reforms, and technological advancements.
