HRSA Awards $1.9 Million To 20 Organizations For The Rural Health Network Development Planning Program

The federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded $1.9 million to 20 organizations in 14 states for the Rural Health Network Development Planning Program. The awards will fund a one-year, community-driven program designed to assist in the planning and development of an integrated health care network at the local level. By emphasizing the role of networks, the program creates a platform for both rural and urban medical care provider organizations, social service provider organizations, and community organizations to coalesce key elements of a health care delivery system and to improve local capacity and coordination of care . . .
