Over the past three years, this interdisciplinary research team composed of collaborators from experience/service design, public health, nursing, architecture, and communication has been partnering with a nonprofit clinic in rural Maine to identify, design, prototype, and evaluate innovative models of rural, community-based care through a participatory research approach. In this presentation, they will share their progress in addressing health inequities and access in rural areas through the design and implementation of a mobile healthcare van, as well as other operational and systemic interventions such as blueprints and frameworks to help healthcare providers replicate alternative ways to healthcare delivery.
