CMS Rural Health Hackathon

CMS is excited to announce the upcoming Rural Health Hackathon. This series of in-person sessions is designed to generate creative, actionable ideas to address the challenges facing rural health communities. Through these sessions, rural health community care providers, community organizations, industry and tech entrepreneurs, funders, policy experts, and beneficiaries will leverage their collective experiences to address the top issues rural health settings are facing. Through these conversations, CMS will drive action to improve clinical outcomes, increase access to care, and create better care experience for both patients and providers in rural communities.

The CMS Innovation Center will convene three in-person sessions:

• Bozeman, Montana: August 14, 2024
• Dallas, Texas: August 22, 2024
• Wilson, North Carolina: August 29, 2024

If you are interested in participating in an in-person session, please complete a 5-minute survey by July 12, 2024 at 11:59PM EST. Please note that due to the collaborative, hands-on structure of the Hackathons, the in-person events will not have the option for individuals to attend virtually.
