Unpacking CMS' $50 Billion Investment into Rural Healthcare

Second Opinion Media Feb Webinar graphic

Rural healthcare is on the brink of one of the biggest transformations in decades. With CMS allocating $50 billion over the next five years to strengthen rural systems, leaders are asking: Where should we focus? What technologies will shape the next era of care? And how can hospitals position themselves for real, lasting impact? 

Join TytoCare and Second Opinion Media for a deep-dive conversation on what this investment means, which innovations will gain the most traction, and how rural hospitals can navigate both the challenges and the unprecedented opportunity ahead. We’ll explore system transformation, new care-delivery models, the future of remote and hybrid care, and why 2026 will be a defining year for rural health.
