Hear real stories from rural communities, highlighting hard-earned lessons from emergencies, disruptions, and recovery efforts that are relevant to communities of all sizes. This webinar explores the promise of telehealth while underscoring a critical reality: there is no magic system that works in a disaster or crisis without intentional planning, strong relationships, and tested workflows already in place. Participants will gain practical, experience-based insights to help their organizations strengthen readiness and use telehealth effectively when it matters most – weather events, mass gatherings, public health threats and more.
