What is a rural health group?

A Rural Health Group is an organization that provides healthcare services to people living in rural or underserved areas. These groups often operate clinics or health centers that offer primary care, preventive services, and sometimes dental or mental health care. Their goal is to improve access to quality healthcare for rural populations, who may face barriers like distance, lack of providers, or limited resources. Rural Health Groups may also participate in community outreach and health education programs to address local health needs.
