Strengthening Rural Care Through Structured Family Caregiving
November 10, 2026
Noon
Careforth is a leading provider of caregiver support services, helping families navigate caregiving challenges through coaching, education, and Structured Family Caregiving programs.
Millions of Americans rely on family members and friends to provide daily care and support, yet caregivers often face significant emotional, physical, and financial challenges. Join Careforth for an informative webinar exploring the Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) model and how it helps support both caregivers and care recipients.
During this session, participants will learn how SFC empowers families to keep loved ones safely at home while providing caregivers with training, coaching, ongoing support, and financial support for eligible caregivers through Structured Family Caregiving programs.
We will discuss the impact of family caregiving in rural communities, the benefits of caregiver support programs, and how healthcare organizations, providers, and community partners can help connect families to available resources.
Attendees will gain practical insights into improving caregiver well-being, reducing caregiver burden, and supporting better health outcomes for individuals who wish to remain safely in their homes and communities.

Regional Stakeholder Meetings
Stakeholder meetings are held across the state; they are an essential piece of our advocacy, education, and relationship efforts.
Our virtual meetings will bring people together to have a conversation about improved access to care. During a 1.5-hour interactive meeting, participants will rank the feasibility and impact of evidence-based solutions to address access to care. From these meetings, ORHA will identify top priorities for the state to implement to support the Ohio Rural Health Improvement Plan.
Please watch for registration information.
