| Description |
Since 1973, the Office has assisted local communities in establishing and operating 85 community-owned rural health centers. Through technical assistance, operational and capital support, and the Medical Access Plan (MAP)indigent care funding, rural health centers provide primary care to residents who face geographic or economic barriers. Primary care services include diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illness, well child care, prenatal care, minor surgical procedures, and limited emergency care (services similar to those found in a typical doctor's office). The program is a unique public/private endeavor to provide much-needed health care access for these populations. |
