Rural health providers have faced unprecedented challenges since the beginning of the COVID-19 public health emergency, focusing on the needs of the communities they serve. COVID-19 highlighted the importance of addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) to support the health and well-being of rural residents. This session highlights how some rural health providers are implementing new strategies by leveraging value-based payment models to collaborate with community partners to mitigate hardships associated with COVID-19, such as social isolation and job loss. 

Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to: 

  • Describe how SDOH affect the health and well-being of rural communities
  • Illustrate how rural health providers and community partners address SDOH during the COVID-19 public health emergency
  • Identify resources to support rural health providers and community partners to assess SDOH needs and track outcomes
