Rural Healthy People 2020

Abstract

Rural Healthy People 2020 (RHP2020) is a result of the work of several researchers, graduate assistants, dedicated project staff, and the guidance of our national RHP2020 Expert Advisory Board. Over a decade ago, the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Office of Rural Health funded the two-volume Rural Healthy People 2010 – the result of a rural-focused survey of Healthy People 2010 priorities and objectives. TeThis served as a foundational starting point for identifying rural health priorities and objectives for the decade.Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Public Health and the Florida State University College of Medicin
