As healthcare and technology continue to evolve and broadband access is about to expand even further, communities across the Wild Rivers Region have an opportunity to leverage broadband infrastructure to improve health outcomes, expand access to care, and strengthen local economies. This workshop will bring together leaders from the Ho-Chunk Nation and Jackson, Clark, Juneau, Trempealeau, and Monroe Counties to discuss emerging trends, regional opportunities, and practical strategies for maximizing the benefits of connectivity.

Participants will:

•     Explore the connection between broadband access and quality healthcare, and how expanded connectivity can transform patient experiences and service delivery.

•     Identify opportunities and gaps in connected care to help shape regional priorities for innovation and investment.

•     Collaborate on practical solutions that address healthcare service gaps and support equitable access to care throughout the region.

This free workshop is part of a regional effort to create actionable strategies that strengthen communities, improve quality of life, and foster long-term economic resilience.
