		<description><![CDATA[I usually write my posts around themes (EMS, oral health, etc.).  I think this is a good way to provide you with an array of resources on a particular topic, but sometimes there are opportunities that don’t fit neatly into a category.  So today I’m posting several funding and conference opportunities in a variety of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s been an interesting series in the Daily Yonder on rural economic development in Alabama, but I think the author’s comments and conclusions apply to Wisconsin or any rural area.  Larry Lee starts his last installment with the observation “What we’ve called ‘rural development’ has failed us miserably for decades.”  A pretty strong statement, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[April is Alcohol Awareness Month—alcohol and drug use can be a special problem in rural communities.  Especially for young people, there aren’t many alternative forms of entertainment.  There is a lack of adequate services to address alcohol and drug abuse in many areas.  And some rural communities have a “culture” of drinking.  The federal Substance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is Medication Safety Week and I’ve come across several conferences and other related resources.  This website has some good ideas on medication safety programming and activities.  Access to medication—as in pharmacies—is a growing problem; I discuss that below.  Medication safety is a special concern among the elderly-I’ve found some senior/caregiver resources, too.
Here are a [...]]]></description>
