Rural communities across the United States face growing challenges that threaten the health and well-being of their populations, including hospital closures, workforce shortages, limited access to specialty care, and economic instability. This lecture, recorded May 16, 2026, examines the structural, financial, and policy factors driving disparities in rural health outcomes and explore innovative approaches to strengthening rural health systems. Participants will learn how community-centered learning health systems, data-driven decision-making, care coordination, and value-based care models can improve quality, equity, and sustainability in rural health care delivery. The session also highlights evidence-based strategies to address rural health challenges, including telehealth expansion, workforce development initiatives, behavioral health integration, and rural-urban partnerships that support healthier communities and more resilient health systems.
