Rural Health Center Assessment Grant SFY 2017-2018

DHHS Division/Office issuing this notice: Office of Rural Health

Date of this notice: February 14, 2017

Working Title of the funding program: Rural Health Centers Program Medical Access Plan, Innovation, Planning and Implementation, and Rural Health Center Assessment Grant SFY 2017-2018

Purpose- description of function of the program and reason why it was created: The purpose of grants awarded under this program is to support state-designated rural health centers. The Office of Rural Health assists underserved communities and populations with developing innovative strategies for improving access, quality, and cost-effectiveness of health care.  Distribution of primary care providers in North Carolina has historically been skewed toward cities and larger towns.  Rural residents, who often face transportation issues, find accessing primary care services difficult.  Through the establishment of rural health centers, ORH enables local communities to provide access to their underserved populations who would otherwise be unable to receive needed primary care services due to geographic, economic, or other barriers.  Thus, rural health centers have become an integral part of the health care safety net for North Carolina’s rural and underserved residents.
