While rural communities may offer close community connections and critical networks o support, they can also present challenges in accessing health care and community-based services.

This webinar hosted by the nonprofit National Council on Aging (NCOA) will introduce and explore the practical and adaptable toolkit developed from roundtable discussions on engaging rural communities in health education. The toolkit offers best practices for:

• Building and advancing community partnerships
