S.M. Inwood, Presenter and Co-Organizer. Farmer Health Forums: Implementation of the
Northeast Rural Development Center Farmer Health Forum Grant. Team: V. Brown, B. Braun,
M. Pippidis, and S.M. Inwood.
The grant funded three one-day forums in Delaware, Maryland and Ohio. Our team collectively
planned each one. At each forum, I presented providing the research foundation for the forum. We
then organized interactive activates including state based case studies to allow for a process of self-
9
discovery and silo bridging across the health and agriculture sectors. Attendees were able to identify
issues related to health and health insurance in the farm sector. Our team invited USDA Rural
Development MD/DE to lead participants through a ‘strategic doing’ exercise to identify next steps.
This process resulted in concrete and effective outcomes identified below. The Ohio Forum is
scheduled for Spring 2019 to allow the new administration elected in Ohio to fully participate.
