Program Description
There are unique challenges to delivering health care in rural areas, and they include provider shortages, isolation, long travel distances, scarcity of specialty care, an under-resourced infrastructure and a predominately older population with multiple chronic diseases. But out of necessity, rural areas also make it possible for clinics to be more innovative in overcoming the challenges of providing care to residents.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the presentation, attendees should be able to:
- Discuss the work of free and charitable clinics across Georgia.
- Detail the issues and solutions unique to setting up and operating a charitable clinic in rural Georgia.
