Rural health journalism workshop June 14 is not only free, it offers financial assistance for travel

Here's a good deal for rural journalists interested in health coverage (and if you're not interested, you probably should be): A free, one-day workshop, with the possibility of financial assistance for your travel. The offer is being made by the Association of Health Care Journalists, and the workshop will be in Birmingham on Friday, June 14.

The program includes sessions on how health-care reform will affect rural health-care providers and patients, other challenges facing rural hospitals, the future of rural seniors, and the scourge of obesity and diabetes in rural areas.

To register, simply join AHCJ. Breakfast and lunch will be provided at the event. Travel assistance, including lodging, is available for those who need it. More information on registration and travel assistance can be found here.
