    Older adults and adults with disabilities residing in rural communities across the nation are aging in place while managing ongoing health conditions. While rural communities may offer close community connections and critical networks of support, they can also present challenges in accessing health care and community-based services. Evidence-based health education, such as chronic disease self-management programs, is vital in complementing clinical care and building the everyday skills to improve quality of life.

The toolkit offers best practices for building and advancing community partnerships, enhancing participant engagement, adapting and effectively delivering evidence-based programs, and overcoming key barriers in rural communities, such as transportation and connectivity for virtual access to care.
