Dear RHC Community,

We hope you will join us for our free, upcoming webinar, held in conjunction with the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) and the VA’s Accessing Telehealth through Local Areas Stations (ATLAS) Program.

This webinar will be held on Tuesday, November 28th , 2023 at 1 PM ET.

The Office of Connected Care at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs created the ATLAS Program to establish telehealth access points for Veterans in rural community-based locations.

The program team is interested in sharing information about the model with RHCs and learning from you in the following areas as they consider opportunities to partner with RHCs to fill the gap in healthcare services for Veterans:

  • What are your biggest needs in serving Veterans at your RHC?
    • What types of services are you interested in helping to support?
  • Are you interested in opportunities to partner on initiatives like these?
  • What barriers do you anticipate in collaborations with VA?

Date: Tuesday, November 28th , 2023, 1 PM Eastern

Panelists:

  • Lesly Roose, RN, BSN, MS; Program Manager, ATLAS
  • Courtney Summitt, Program Support
  • Peyton Mason, Program Support

Moderators:

  • Sarah Hohman, NARHC Director of Government Affairs
  • Carrie Cochran-McClain, NRHA Chief Policy Officer
