RAC Web Site Features State Resources

The Rural Assistance Center (RAC), a national resource for rural health and human services information, offers web-based State Resources pages. The State Resources pages allow easy access to continuously updated demographics and statistics, documents and resources, contacts and success stories for all 50 states. 

Each state’s page features a statistical overview of the state and its rural health and human services environment.  In addition, the pages include:

• Tools, including web sites with demographic and statistical information

• Documents and resources, including publications from various research centers, rural and public health agencies, and journals

• State-level contacts, organizations and groups involved in rural health

• Funding programs available in the state

• News and upcoming events of interest to rural health

• Examples of successful projects in the state that can serve as model projects in rural communities

The pages are designed to help rural communities find information and resources that can assist them in important activities such as locating and competing for funding opportunities, and networking within their state. RAC has worked with state-level partners, such as the State Offices of Rural Health, to develop these pages and will continue those relationships to ensure that the State Resources pages remain current and feature the best information available for each state.

RAC would appreciate your help in making your state page the best it can be for the communities in your state. If you know of additional resources that would be useful to rural communities in your state, please contact RAC at 1-800-270-1898 or email your comments to info@raconline.org.
