Rural Health Connect
Ted Tait June 14, 2025
WWER interviews Dr. Henri Parson about the Rural Health Connect project, a digital platform designed to provide health information and resources to rural communities. Dr. Parson explains that this project is a research study funded by the National Institutes of Health, in partnership with universities like VCU and Old Dominion University, with the goal of improving health literacy and awareness in these areas. A community advisory board, made up of local residents, helps determine the content for the platform, and the study is actively recruiting participants to gather feedback on its effectiveness.
