Greetings, colleagues,
We hope this message finds you in great health. The National Center for Equitable Care for Elders is excited to announce new training activities available for free registration! And as COVID-19 has highlighted the challenges older adults face in preparing for and navigating through emergencies, we encourage you to check out the details for our upcoming June learning collaborative below.
The NCECE team invites you to learn more about our upcoming events via the following links on the NCECE website:
Webinars: Open to all participants
Improving Diabetes Care Quality in Rural Communities:
Date and time: May 21 from 2 – 3 p.m. ET
About: Rural residents experience both a higher rate of risk factors for diabetes and more limited access to health services compared with urban areas. This webinar will focus on the role of telehealth delivery to overcome geographic and financial barriers to providing diabetes monitoring and patient lifestyle education.
Learning Collaboratives: Intended for participants from HRSA-funded health centers

The SDOH Academy: Equitable Preparedness for Vulnerable Populations
Dates and time: Wednesdays from 2-3:30 p.m. ET on May 20 and June 3
