Bridging the Digital Divide: Educational Event on Digital Equity & Access

Digital access is a gateway to healthcare, education, and essential services — but many people in Grant County still experience barriers to these connections.

Join us for a half-day event designed for people working across healthcare, education, public services, and communities. Together we'll build a shared understanding of what digital equity means in our region, why it matters for the people you serve, and what resources and programs already exist to help. Leave ready to better support your clients, patients, and neighbors in getting and staying connected.

Lunch provided. Free and open to the public. Registration is required.
