HRSA awards $7.2 million to state offices of rural health
Rural Assistance Center, July 9, 2008
The Health Resources and Services Administration has announced the renewal of $7.2 million in annual operating grants to public and private agencies that serve the most geographically isolated communities in the country. Since 1991, HRSA has supplied annual grants to sustain a nationwide network of State Offices of Rural Health, which act as the focal point for ongoing research and examination of the well-being of rural families and a source of advice to local, state and federal policymakers. This year, 36 state health departments, 11 academic institutions and a variety of non-profit groups will receive about $147,000 each in federal grants.
