This summit will bring together healthcare providers, community leaders, educators, policymakers, and advocates to explore key challenges and emerging strategies related to:
- Women’s health in rural communities
- Behavioral health care and access to services
- Aging populations and elder care
- Transportation barriers affecting rural health access
We are honored to welcome Tony Pipa, Senior Fellow in the Center for Sustainable Development at the Brookings Institution and host of the Reimagine Rural podcast and George Garrow, Chief Executive Officer at Primary Health Network, as keynote speakers, who will share their expertise and perspectives on rural health policy and practice.
Participants will engage in working groups where relevant data will be shared, and where your voice will help shape our collective and ongoing efforts to address rural health challenges and solutions in central Pennsylvania in 2026 and beyond. Throughout the day, we will examine how these interconnected issues impact rural populations—and what we can do together to address them.
We hope you will join us and contribute your perspective to this important conversation.
