Exploring Health Innovations in Rural Texas

Join us for an insightful webinar as we delve into the unique landscape of health in rural Texas. In 2021, 3 million Texans lived in rural areas, more than in any other state in the country. Rural Texans tend to be older and are at a greater risk of facing poor health outcomes. Residents in rural areas face unique health disparities rooted in economic, social, racial, ethnic, and geographic factors. Compounding this, rural Texas residents can face significant challenges accessing preventive, acute, maternity, and chronic care services. In this webinar, we will bring together experts to shed light on the issues affecting rural health in Texas and examine the innovative solutions that are advancing health care access and outcomes for rural Texans.
