On Tuesday, July 27th, Doctors for America will be holding a conference call with Mary Wakefield, HRSA Administrator, to discuss health reform implementation. HRSA plays a large role in healthcare workforce programs and rural healthcare services. Participants on the call are encouraged to submit questions about healthcare provisions and how they will impact your community.
As most of you know, federally certified Rural Health Clinics and Community Funded Safety Net Clinics, providers of primary care services in rural and underserved areas that are an essential part of the healthcare safety net, were largely overlooked in healthcare reform. This is a great opportunity to ask HRSA what support and resources will be available for these rural healthcare safety net providers as health reform is implemented.
