Dec. 17 webinar will discuss challenges rural seniors face with social isolation and getting reliable medical care

Rural senior citizens routinely face problems with obtaining transportation to reliable medical care, being able to pay for it, and social isolation. The Rural Health Information Hub will present a free webinar at 1 p.m. ET Dec. 17 to discuss how such challenges can be overcome in order to provide supportive services and caregiving for rural seniors.

The presenters will also talk about policy recommendations for improving the lives of rural seniors, as detailed in a report from the National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services to the Department of Health and Human Services.

The webinar is expected to last about an hour, and a recording will be made available afterward. Click here for more information or to register.
