Drug overdose deaths are at epidemic levels in the United States. As communities work to combat this complex issue, coalitions are often expected to lead the way. This issue can take coalitions into areas beyond prevention, to address harm reduction, overdose prevention, naloxone distribution
and more.
During this first session of a two-part series, we will take a deep look at the Opioid Continuum of Care (e.g., prevention, intervention, treatment and aftercare) and discuss the unique characteristics of each stage, plus COVID-19’s impact on the crisis. Participants will examine the role of their coalitions in the opioid crisis and ways they can engage community partners and members during the pandemic.

As COVID-19 swept across America, Congress and the Trump Administration quickly recognized that Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) would be an important source of testing for the new virus. In early May, Congress approved a $225 Million RHC COVID-19 Testing Program so all RHCs could assist with a national effort to increase COVID-19 testing.
The Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) was charged with organizing the distribution of this money to RHCs. Through an unprecedented level of collaboration between FORHP, the National Association of Rural Health Clinics (NARHC) and the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH), this money began flowing to virtually every RHC in the country in a matter of weeks.
Join the leaders of NARHC, NOSORH and FORHP as they discuss both the triumphs of RHCs during COVID-19 and the challenges ahead as we head into a winter resurgence in cases. After brief remarks from each of the rural health leaders, the lines will be opened for you to ask questions and share your experiences with the panelists and attendees. They want to hear about your success as well as what challenges you continue to face in meeting the healthcare needs of your communities in these challenging times.
This Town Hall will also serve as a kick-off to a week-long celebration of the Power of Rural culminating in National Rural Health Day on November 19th!

The American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM), the American Medical Association (AMA), and the Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI) are pleased to bring you the next webinar in our Learning Collaborative to Address Diabetes Prevention, PRAPARE Screening Tool & Diabetes Prevention.
Identifying the socioeconomic and structural drivers of poor health outcomes and higher healthcare costs is increasingly important when caring for complex patients. By collecting standardized data on the social determinants of health (SDoH) using the Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patients’ Assets, Risks and Experiences (PRAPARE) tool, community health centers can better understand the complexity of their patient populations and use that information for a variety of purposes including providing more appropriate care, better allocating limited resources, targeting interdisciplinary teams, and providing needed social services—either in-house or through community partnerships.
The PRAPARE is a standardized SDOH screening tool developed by the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations, and the Oregon Primary Care Association to help community health centers engage patients and inform care and payment transformation.
This webinar will feature speakers Yuriko De la Cruz, Manager, SDoH, and Sarah Halpin, Program Associate from NACHC.
