This session will examine the clinical and social impact of shifting demographics within rural communities, and how these trends have impacted overall health and well-being. It will also explore how indicators such as “happiness” and “engagement” can inspire effective strategies for addressing upstream social determinants of health, and frame a new mentality for rural community development.
