November In Action: A Look Back at Our Highlights
SETRC Collaboration - New Spanish Translations
Amy Moses, Senior Program Manager at SCTRC, announced a collaborative effort with the Southeastern Telehealth Training Center to expand telehealth accessibility. Together, they translated two core modules into Spanish:
This project involved team members from both organizations working on translation and audio recording. Looking ahead to next year, the collaboration will extend to producing several Spanish-language podcasts, broadening telehealth resources for Spanish-speaking communities. This translation initiative marks a significant step in enhancing telehealth education and making it more inclusive for diverse communities.
Empowering Older Adults Through Telehealth Education
The UAMS Arkansas Geriatric Education Collaborative (AGEC) and the South Central Telehealth Resource Center (SCTRC) have joined forces to expand educational opportunities for older adults across Arkansas. This collaboration focuses on providing telehealth education and training to underserved communities, improving access to vital resources and care strategies.
“AGEC is thrilled to collaborate with the partners at the South Central Telehealth Resource Center and UAMS Institute for Digital Health to provide wonderful, timely educational opportunities to older adults throughout Arkansas,” said Laura Spradley, AGEC Outreach Manager.
As part of this initiative, AGEC will host a virtual session in December titled Understanding Dementia & Alzheimer’s Disease. This event will provide attendees with essential information on symptoms, progression, and care strategies.
