Webinar overview:
Covid-19 media headlines are often centered around large, urban areas, but rural communities are facing unique challenges in combating the pandemic. To discuss these challenges, we talk with three Maine healthcare and public health experts with a long-standing interest in re-visioning Maine’s public health and rural health systems. They will discuss the rural health challenges before the pandemic hit, what is happening now in rural healthcare and rural economies, and where we can go from here to create a brighter rural future.
