The USDA Farm Bill is a critical piece of legislation that impacts rural health, health care access and community development across the country. While often associated with agriculture, the Farm Bill also supports rural hospitals, child nutrition programs and essential services that shape quality of life in rural communities. Below we have a recap of the webinar for you to watch if you missed it live.
Typically renewed every five years, the last Farm Bill was passed in 2018. As Congress works toward the next version, there is an opportunity to strengthen investments in rural health care and economic development. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed its version, while the Senate’s proposal is still pending.
During this webinar, policy leaders Alexa McKinley Abel and Marguerite Peterseim will shared insights on the current legislative landscape and key priorities, moderated by Jacy Warrell.
In partnership with the National Rural Health Association, this conversation highlights how the Farm Bill can improve health care access, support rural providers and strengthen communities across Tennessee and beyond.
This webinar is an opportunity for providers, advocates and community leaders to learn more and get involved. Advocating for a strong Farm Bill can help expand health care access, strengthen rural economies and improve outcomes for rural communities.
