Coming together to strengthen rural and community health across the Commonwealth

This year’s summit will highlight strategies, partnerships, and practical solutions for building a resilient, community‑based health workforce, such as:
- The growing need for community health workers and community‑based health professionals
- Workforce shortages at community health centers
- Recruitment and retention challenges in rural health settings
- Staffing needs in assisted living, skilled nursing, and long‑term care facilities
- Strategies to strengthen care delivery in medically underserved and rural communities
- University, provider, public health, and state collaborations to develop sustainable workforce solutions
