The Next Mile: Scaling Virtual Care in Rural America

A Virtual Insights Workshop

The infrastructure is built. The evidence is strong.

The question now is how to scale it. This session brings together health system leaders working on the front lines of rural virtual care for a working conversation on what it actually takes to scale across rural America, from hub-spoke specialty models to acute and behavioral telemedicine built for the communities that need them most. As the Rural Health Transformation Program begins reaching states, we’ll dig into what the funding is unlocking, where it’s getting stuck, and what health systems further along this path have learned the hard way.

A peer exchange roundtable, not a panel: expect real operational detail, honest conversation about what’s working and what’s still stuck, and the chance to bring your own questions to people doing this work right now.

Because this is an interactive session, space is limited. Key insights from the discussion will be shared with all registrants in a post-event report.
