Mayo Clinic Health System will hold its second annual national symposium, Transforming Community and Rural Healthcare 2024: Inspiring Partnerships and Scaling Collaborative Impact, Oct. 21–22 at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, Minnesota, and by livestream.
This unique event will bring together healthcare professionals, community organizations, educators and researchers. Presentations and discussions will address the most pressing healthcare issues facing rural America, including workforce shortages, challenges in coordination of care, behavioral health and health equity, and how community partnerships can help address these issues.
“Partnering together with community organizations, researchers, educators and other experts in rural healthcare delivery is the only way we can transform healthcare in our communities. Everyone deserves the best healthcare possible, and we hope to continue to work toward that goal," says Dr. Andrew Calvin, chair of Education for Mayo Clinic Health System. “Together, we can drive meaningful change that strengthens the health of rural communities across the country.”
