Program Description

The Georgia Health Policy Center (GHPC) has a longstanding history of working in rural communities. To help others understand the importance of the rural context within the scope of health improvement efforts, GHPC developed this learning opportunity to support the promotion of rural-relevant programs, policies, and research.

Understanding the Rural Landscape is intended for local, state, or federal stakeholders and focuses on common characteristics of rural communities, as well as opportunities for innovation in rural health programs and research. Central to the module is application of a three-step framework
stakeholders can use to inform development of policy and program planning efforts.
