The Federal Office of Rural Health Policy's (FORHP) Rural Health Network Development Planning Program (Network Planning Program) grant brings together key parts of a rural healthcare delivery system to establish and improve local capacity and coordination of care. The program supports one year of planning, with the primary goals of helping networks create a foundation for their infrastructure and bringing focus to member efforts to address important community health needs.

Goals of the webinar:

• Learn how the Network Planning Program helps rural communities build sustainable, collaborative healthcare networks.
• Hear directly from former grantees about how they leveraged their planning year to launch partnerships, strengthen infrastructure, and improve access to care.
• Explore practical strategies and lessons learned that can help organizations maximize the impact of a Network Planning Program.
