| LeadingAge National Updates |
LeadingAge's Rural Provider Network meets on a periodic basis to foster connections, share network updates, and feature a presentation of a member. This past month's program featured a presentation from Lindsey Sand on AscendRural — a national initiative connecting rural communities with innovative solutions and technology pilots to improve rural well-being.
Attendees also receive the latest federal policy and advocacy updates affecting rural providers, and the meeting typically features an open round-robin where participants can share challenges, successes, and ideas with peers.
The network is open to all LeadingAge members; sign up here.
