Bridging Rural Communities: Telehealth Innovations for Appalachia and Beyond is a unique, multi-site convening designed to showcase and document best practices in telehealth across the Appalachian region. This full-day event will bring together professionals, policymakers, and program leaders committed to improving rural health through innovative telehealth solutions.
Featuring short and engaging (think TED-style) talks clustered around the region’s top health priorities – mental health, diabetes, substance use disorder, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and emergency preparedness-each session will highlight effective strategies, lessons learned, and actionable insights.
Attendees will participate in facilitated discussions to identify best practices, contributing to a published proceedings in the Journal of Appalachian Health. Join us to connect, learn, and shape the future of telehealth in Appalachia and beyond.
