Rural Health Policy Institute
2018-02-06 - 2018-02-09 | Omni Shoreham Hotel, 2500 Calvert Street NW, Washington, DC, 20008, United States
Join NRHA for the largest rural advocacy event in the country and arguably the most important Policy Institute to date. Learn firsthand about the development and implementation of health care policy at the federal level and meet with your members. And arrive early for the Accountable Care Policy Summit or Advocacy 101 workshop.
Will the Affordable Care Act be fully repealed? What is the replacement? What does that mean to rural patients and providers? What will happen to the Medicaid program in states that expanded Medicaid and states that did not? What about cost-based reimbursement and other add-on payments so critical to rural providers?
Since the passage of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), APMs will have increasing influence on the operations of rural providers. There is a pressing need for rural providers to look at how they can respond through delivery system reform at the local, state and national level. We can help at NRHA’s Accountable Care Policy Summit.
Hear answers to these and other issues during this great time of uncertainty from members of the new administration and key leaders from Capitol Hill. Now, more than ever, the politically powerful are listening to voice of rural America.

Webinar: Broadband Under the Community Reinvestment Act
2018-01-11 14:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | TN
Join Connecting Communities for their webinar: Broadband Under the Community Reinvestment Act! The webinar will be held on Thursday, January 11 at 3:00 pm ET.
This hour-long webinar will highlight opportunities for local financial institutions to receive consideration for infrastructure investment under the Community Reinvestment Act administered by the Federal Reserve. Each of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks seeks to promote economic development by investing in improvements to essential community infrastructure for health services, education, public safety, affordable housing, or broadband services, among others. Lower-income and rural communities continue to face diminished access to broadband and many services that rely on high-speed internet services, including telehealth.
Session Description:
Just as broadband access plays a critical role in our lives, access to broadband has become critically essential in community development—education and workforce development, health, housing, small business development and access to financial services. The ability to access the internet is an important tool for workers to use to find and keep jobs in both urban and rural markets. Broadband access lags in many population segments, including low-income and rural communities.
Under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), infrastructure investment includes facilitating the construction, expansion, improvement, maintenance or operation of essential infrastructure or facilities for health services, education, public safety, public services, industrial parks or affordable housing. Broadband is included as a form of infrastructure investment—an essential community service.
This Connecting Communities webinar will highlight possible opportunities for financial institutions to receive CRA consideration and take advantage of new opportunities to help close the digital divide across communities and improve economic stability.
Speakers include:

Jeanne Milliken Bonds, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
Jordana Barton, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
Adrian Franco, Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Chelsea Cruz, Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Yolanda Davila, BBVA Compass
