Newswise Live Event – Media Update from RWJF and Partners on Rural Health Disparities
Ahead of National Rural Health Day on Nov. 16, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and partner organizations are giving an exclusive media update on the state of their mission to reduce rural health disparities.
Rural counties continue to rank lowest among counties across the U.S., in terms of health outcomes, with worsening premature death rates, and significant disparities in health outcomes for marginalized populations including African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans. A group of national organizations including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the National 4-H Council are leading the way to close the rural health gap by reframing research and policy analysis, demonstrating the interdependence between rural America and the rest of the nation, and bolstering economic development.
WHEN & HOW: Wednesday, Nov. 8, 11 AM EST. Virtual, online video meeting with Newswise Live (via Zoom).
