HRSA-NETRC 2022 Telehealth Tuesday Webinar Series: The Role Of Telehealth In Expanding Access To Care And Social Services Part 1: Telehealth And The Impact Of Community Health Workers (CHWs)

The rapid expansion of telehealth services to access health care during the COVID19 pandemic raised concerns of widening gaps in health equity among populations at risk. This 4-part webinar series will address these concerns by identifying barriers and by highlighting sustainable models that have reduced inequalities and improved health outcomes. Presenters will describe the role of telehealth and what staffing, programmatic, and process changes have been implemented to increase access to health care, and social services.

This webinar is a close collaboration between HRSA IEA Region 1 and the Northeast Telehealth Resource Center. The series goal is to highlight sustainable models of telehealth and best practices to increase access to health care and reduce health disparities. The PowerPoint presentations of The Role of Telehealth in Expanding Access to Health Care and Social Services webinar series will be e-mailed to all participants.
