March for Rural Hospitals
July 31 Washington, DC Funding for rural hospitals is under attack by Congress and the Administration. Cuts to critical access hospitals are again proposed, and hundreds of millions of dollars to rural PPS hospitals will be lost if Congress does not act by Oct. 1. If these threats become a reality, rural hospital services will be forced to cut services, and rural hospital doors may close.

Free Webinar:
Funding and Services for the
Golden Years in Georgia
Date: Wednesday, July 10, 2013
Time: 2:00 PM - 3:15 PM EST
Sponsor: Healthcare Georgia Foundation and Georgia Rural Health Association
Session Description: The older adult population is the fastest growing segment of Georgia's population. This growth is reshaping communities across the state and having a profound on Georgia's most rural counties. While more and more people are growing older, they are also entering older age with higher prevalence of chronic disease, fewer family members to offer and manage informal support and increased needs for community supports.
This webinar will review the statewide trends and the impacts on local health systems. Participants will learn about aging services across Georgia, how they are structured and funded at the state and local level and potential opportunities for partnering with local aging service providers.
Presenter: Kathryn Lawler, Manager of the Aging and Health Resources Division and Director of the Area Agency on Aging for the Atlanta Regional Commission.

'Obamacare' and Rural
By Steph Larsen - Daily Yonder
If you were to look in my email inbox, one thing is clear - rural Americans, like the rest of the country, are confused about the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare or the ACA. I'm happy people are asking me about the health care law, frankly, because that means they aren't just believing the latest rumor they heard from their mother's hairdresser's cousin.
So here's a place to start - some answers to common questions about what the Affordable Care Act means for rural communities.
