2025 Rural Health Journalism Workshop

AHCJ will help you understand the implications of the “the big beautiful bill” and other changes to federal policy that have occurred since January at the annual Rural Health Workshop on August 21 in Atlanta.

We’ll also dig into:

• What Georgia learned from its experiment with a Medicaid work requirement, also part of the budget bill;
• How rural infrastructure affects access to health care, especially broadband and public transportation;
• What’s happening with efforts to rebuild the rural health care workforce and how that work could be affected by immigration visa changes and other federal policies;
• Trends in opioid use, overdose and treatment;
• Where to find good, reliable data in a “disappearing data” environment.
