At our symposium, we will explore rural community resiliency in the face of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. We aim to prepare recommendations to contribute to sustainable and resilient rural communities and health systems and consider strategies to implement these recommendations. We hope to identify new research questions that are important to answer and will provide evidence to support enhancing resiliency for rural communities.<\/p>\n
