Rural health care providers have faced unprecedented challenges since the beginning of the COVID-19 public health emergency, focusing on the needs of the communities they serve. COVID-19 highlighted the importance of addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) to support the health and well-being of rural residents. This session highlights how some rural health providers are implementing new strategies by leveraging value-based payment models to collaborate with community partners to mitigate hardships associated with COVID-19, such as social isolation and job loss.
