Join Feb. 27 Twitter chat to discuss rural health-care stakeholder strategies to maximize rural census count

The Rural Health Information Hub will host a Twitter chat at 2 p.m. ET on Feb. 27 to discuss how rural health stakeholders can help increase census turnout in their communities.

Rural areas risk being undercounted in the decennial census, which could leave them with less political representation and less federal funding. During the chat, guests will discuss challenges in reaching hard-to-count populations and strategies that can maximize census response.

The National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (@NOSORH) will co-host the hour-long chat. You can find it by searching for the hashtag #RuralHealthChat on Twitter.
