How it Works

Project Echo® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a tele-mentoring movement dedicated to sharing knowledge and amplifying the capacity of health care professionals to provide best practice care for underserved people all over the world. Recognizing a need for increased specialists, particularly in rural communities, Project ECHO utilizes the teleconferencing platform Zoom to create hub-and-spoke knowledge sharing networks around the world. By creating communities of learning, Project ECHO improves treatment by moving information instead of people. 

HOW TO JOIN

Our Project ECHO approach is building a community to learn how to better treat and improve the quality of life for older adults in Kentucky.
