12:00 PM - 1:15 PM PST
Description: Join the Bree Collaborative at the Foundation for Health Care Quality, Comagine Health, and the Washington Health Alliance for the final webinar as part of a series spotlighting innovative work shaping the future of health care in Washington State.
As the health care landscape continues to shift—driven by changes in funding, policy, and system demands—organizations across the state are adapting with resilience, creativity, and collaboration.
This session turns the spotlight to rural communities where innovation is powered by strong partnerships, resourcefulness, and deep local knowledge. As Washington’s health care environment continues to shift, rural organizations are developing new models, forging creative collaborations, and reimagining how care can be delivered. Leaders from across rural health, including clinicians, health systems, health plans, and organizations, will share how they are advancing whole‑person care, strengthening access to quality services, and navigating the unique challenges of rural transformation. Attendees will hear about practical strategies, lessons learned, and opportunities to accelerate progress across the state.
Join us to explore how rural ingenuity is driving meaningful change and what it can teach us about building a stronger, more resilient health system for all Washingtonians.
