Funding Announced for Rural Health Networks Planning Grants

As part of the Governor’s Bottom Up Economic Development Initiative, a number of counties and regions identified supporting healthcare as a goal. Recognizing how important healthcare is as an economic driver, Colorado STRIDES and the Colorado Rural Health Center applaud this focus on healthcare, and seeks to support counties, regions, healthcare providers and facilities moving in this direction!

Health Resources and Services Administration recently announced funding for Rural Health Networks Planning Grants. These grants support the development Rural Health Networks designed to achieve efficiencies, expand access to quality medical services, and strengthen the rural healthcare system as a whole. Applications are due October 31, 2011. For more information, please visit their website.
