Rural Health Information Network Workgroup

The Rural Health Information Network (RHIN) Workgroup is made up of representatives from 12 national organizations concerned with rural health issues.  RHIN Workgroup representatives provide insights and information about current and emerging rural health issues to the Rural Assistance Center (RAC) and its funder, the Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP). These insights help RAC and ORHP improve the products and services they provide to the rural health community.
