Health Affairs Webinar: Rural Health Transformation and Age‑Friendly Care
Health Affairs is hosting a virtual event on June 8, "Rural Health Transformation and Age‑Friendly Care."
The Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) provides a total of $50 billion over five years for state programs to improve care in rural communities. As rural communities tend to have higher concentrations of older adults, RHTP has the potential to positively impact health and health care for older populations.
The one-hour conversation will highlight how the program is taking shape, how some states are planning to use the federal funding to strengthen care and systems for older adults, and what to expect next from the rollout. The speakers are:
- Kate Sapra, deputy director of CMS's Office of Rural Health Transformation, where she helps lead implementation of the RHTP.
- Katherine Ornstein (moderator), professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and director of the Center for Equity in Aging.
The event is produced as part of Health Affairs' Age-Friendly Health series, supported by JAHF.
