Join rural health Twitter chat for National Rural Health Day - Entrepreneur Generations

As part of National Rural Health Day tomorrow, the Rural Health Information Hub will host a Twitter chat discussing access to rural health. The chat will begin at noon Eastern Time and will last about one hour. Find and participate in the chat with the hashtag #RuralHealthChat.

Many rural residents face barriers to accessing health care services, such as distance, expense, health insurance status, provider shortages, health literacy and more. The chat will discuss specific barriers to access and possible solutions as well as recognize rural communities that have addressed these barriers.
