NCOA Expanding Evidence-Based Programs in Rural Communities, November 19
Older adults and adults with disabilities residing in rural communities across the nation are aging in place while managing ongoing health conditions. 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. Evidence-based health education, such as chronic disease self-management programs is vital in complementing clinical care and building the everyday skills to improve quality of life.
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
- Enhancing participant engagement
- Adapting and effectively delivering evidence-based programs, and
- Overcoming key barriers (i.e., transportation and connectivity), in rural communities.
Cost: Free
