For those working in rural communities, the CMS Rural Health Transformation Initiative presents opportunities for reshaping care delivery, community partnerships, and access to services. But it has also left many organizations with questions about how it will be implemented and the varying approaches across states and regions. Β
Led by Health Equity Community Collaborative Co-Founder & Core Partner Denise Octavia Smith, MBA, CHW, PN, this monthβs community gathering will include a focused discussion about this initiative - how local leaders can get involved, advocate for communities, and influence its direction.
Join us on Thursday, October 30th, 3:00-4:30 pm ET, when Denise will be joined by a member of the National Governors Association to:
Explore initiative challenges and opportunities: Discuss how we can advance health equity through the Rural Health Transformation Initiative
See whatβs happening across the country: Hear from community members on how the initiative is unfolding in different regions
Share tools and resources: Learn whatβs available to stay informed about initiative progress and advocacy Β Β
Connect and relationship build: Foster solidarity and support through small group discussions and collective reflection
