DESCRIPTION:Save the date!  \nJoin the Chicago chapter of AHCJ on Thursday\, Nov. 21\, for a panel discussion on “Fresh Stories Ahead for the Affordable Care Act.”  \nDoes your story list need a kick in the pants? The technical problems of HealthCare.gov have overshadowed other health reform stories since the rollout of the federal marketplace website on Oct. 1.

Scott Litch\, is chief operating officer and general counsel for the Chicago-based American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Litch has three primary duties with the AAPD:  coordinating internal operations and planning; directing the AAPD’s government relations and public policy agenda; and\, managing legal issues affecting the AAPD and pediatric dentistry.       \nDan Lustig\, vice president clinical services\, Haymarket Center in Chicago\, has more than 20 years of experience in the field of addictions. In 2005\, he completed a research study examining the Factors Related to Changes in African American Women Participating in Substance Abuse Treatment. He currently sits on numerous committees evaluating methamphetamine and its clinical interventions statewide. \nJason Montrie is vice president of channel and network development for Land of Lincoln Health\, the first and only health insurance CO-OP in Illinois.

SUMMARY:National Rural Health Day
DESCRIPTION:For the third consecutive year\, the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) and all 50 State Offices of Rural Health (SORHs) will join forces with other local\, state\, and national rural health care providers and stakeholders to celebrate National Rural Health Day. \nAmerica’s rural communities face unique health care concerns: a lack of health care providers; accessibility issues\, particularly in terms of transportation and technology; and affordability issues as the result of larger percentages of un-/underinsured citizens and greater out-of-pocket health costs. Meanwhile\, rural hospitals and health systems face declining reimbursement rates and disproportionate funding levels that make it challenging to meet the physical\, social and economic needs of their communities. \nNOSORH launched National Rural Health Day in 2011 to increase awareness of these issues and highlight the efforts of SORHs and others in addressing those issues \nNational Rural Health Day events are being planned nationwide by SORHs and others on Nov 21. As in year’s past\, NOSORH will host a series of free webinars on National Rural Health Day.  Scheduled topics\, times\, and speakers include: \n\n\nAgriSafe: Protecting the People Who Feed America (Noon EST) – Natalie Roy\, Executive Director and Carolyn Sheridan\, Clinical Director\, AgriSafe Network (Registration) \n\n\nRural 101: The Basics of Rural Health (1 p.m. EST) – Kristine Sande\, Program Director\, Rural Assistance Center (Registration) \n\n\nPopulation Based Health and Health Promotion in Rural (2:00 p.m. EST) – Lynda Bergsma\, Program Director\, Arizona Center of Rural Health; Caroline Ford\, Former Director\, Nevada State Office of Rural Health (Registration) \n\n\nThe Affordable Care Act in Rural America (3 p.m. EST) – Tom Morris\, Associate Administrator\, Deepti Loharikar\, Public Health Analyst\, and Aaron Fischbach\, Public Health Analyst\, Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (Registration) \n\n\nResources for Recruitment\, Networking\, and Telehealth (4 p.m. EST) – Mike Shimmens\, Executive Director\, National Rural Recruitment and Retention Network; Rebecca Davis\, Executive Director\, National Cooperative of Health Networks Association; Kathy Hsu Wibberly\, Director\, Mid-Atlantic Telehealth Resource Center (Registration) \n\n\nNOSORH is also planning to host a National Rural Health Day Press Conference/Celebration at the National Press Club in Washington\, D.C. at 10 a.m. EST on Nov. 21; details will be forthcoming.  To learn more about National Rural Health Day\, visit ; to learn more about NOSORH\, visit . \nContacts:   Bill Hessert at 814.360.1964\, billh@nosorh.org; Teryl Eisinger at 586.850.5257\, teryle@nosorh.org
