The event welcomed 35 in-person attendees, with an additional 15 participants joining virtually from across the state.
The interactive session focused on identifying the most significant health challenges facing Alabama’s rural communities while gathering direct input from local leaders, providers, and partners. Attendees engaged in open discussions on workforce shortages, barriers to care, behavioral health needs, transportation limitations, and emerging priorities that impact rural residents. Feedback collected during the Roadshow will play a central role in shaping the Alabama Rural Health Association’s Policy Agenda for the upcoming year.
Participants also explored collaborative strategies to improve access, enhance provider support, and strengthen community-based solutions. The hybrid format allowed statewide participation, ensuring diverse perspectives and a broad understanding of local needs. Lunch was provided for in-person attendees, and both in-person and virtual participation were offered at no cost.
The Alabama Rural Health Roadshow continues to serve as an important platform for dialogue and action on rural health issues. Registration was available online for all interested participants, reinforcing the Association’s commitment to accessibility, community engagement, and advancing rural health outcomes across Alabama.
