An estimated 80 million Americans currently lack access to dental care. As oral health is essential to the overall health and well-being of an individual, the large number of those without access can have potentially devastating health consequences such as an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, chronic diseases, diabetes, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Three main barriers to accessing dental care include coverage, provider shortages, and cultural barriers to oral health. In this webinar, we will hear from leaders in the field of oral health who are working to reduce disparities in access to and quality of care. 

Speakers will discuss:

• Federal initiatives to reduce health disparities and advance oral health equity, while furthering oral health in pediatric populations 
• A health plan foundation’s investment, in collaboration with the Duke Endowment, to improve oral health access in the Carolinas, including in rural communities and school-based programs

Interprofessional solutions to integrate oral health into education and care delivery models.

Please join the National Clinician Consultation Center in partnership with the Health Resources and Services HIV/AIDS Bureau for this Ending the HIV Epidemic webinar series for clinicians.

HIV Prevention has been identified as one of four key strategies to Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States.  Health care providers play a critical role in preventing new HIV transmissions.  Having timely and convenient access to specialist support can help providers feel more confident and comfortable exploring HIV prevention strategies with patients.  The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded National Clinician Consultation Center (NCCC) provides free, confidential, one-on-one teleconsultation to health care providers on key prevention tools, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP, a medication that effectively prevents HIV) as well as harm reduction approaches to help address HIV-associated risk behaviors.  During this webinar, the NCCC and approach to supporting clinicians with implementation and optimization of key HIV prevention strategies including PrEP and harm reduction will be described.  Based on real cases, NCCC will review the nuts and bolts of HIV prevention and share ideas on overcoming clinical, informational, and cultural challenges in building prevention capacity.

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the free clinical teleconsultation services available to health care providers through the National Clinician Consultation Center (NCCC).
2. Identify and proactively address barriers to implementing PrEP care.
3. Discuss key clinical components of providing PrEP, including best practices in assessing HIV risk, initial and ongoing clinical monitoring, and supporting PrEP adherence and persistence.

Registration is open for the 2021 3RNET Learning Academy “Retention and Regeneration: Enhancing your Recruitment for Retention Process from the Ground Up.”  This is a new 6-part webinar learning opportunity that is available to you at no charge.  Enjoy anytime/anywhere access to materials and recorded sessions.  See the Academy web-site for additional details and to register.   

The Missouri Primary Care Association hopes you take advantage of this free opportunity.  To waive the $500 fee, be sure to use the coupon code: MO3RNet21 during checkout. 

As you may be aware, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is set to make $52 million from the American Rescue Plan available to train healthcare workers to fill a range of in-demand professions affected by the pandemic. HHS is currently finalizing the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for this program but wanted to provide our general vision for the program to any interested stakeholders.

This program will support rural health networks to focus on training and placing workers in a number of high-need public health workforce tracks to serve rural communities.

Mark your calendars for a background briefing on this program with Tom Morris on Wednesday, September 29^th at 3:00pm EDT. You can register for the meeting here. You will receive a Zoom link once you successfully register through the Rural Health Information Hub (RHIhub). Please have all attendees register separately. If your stakeholders might have an interest in learning more about this program, please pass along the webinar details to them. Because the application response period can vary greatly, there may not be adequate time for those who may want to apply to develop the relationships and commitments that will be necessary. Thus, the goal with this call is to help those with an interest in the program better understand the intent so they can start thinking about potential network members and other considerations in advance of the release of the program NOFO in November.
