Rural America and ARRA Focus on Health Reform
Rural America and The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 - Valuable Summaries Now Avaliable
A valuable resource direct from the National Rural Health Association's Annual Conference is now available for the rural health community at large. The document provides a comprehensive summary of the investment the Federal Government is making in rural areas, and rural health in particular, through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
NRHA President, Beth Landon, says,
"The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was, dollar-for-dollar, the largest investment in rural health in our country’s history. In order to help you better
access this investment for your community’s health, the NRHA has developed this booklet to help guide you. This is an incredible opportunity for all of us to utilize new resources to improve the health of the 62 million who call rural America home. Thank you for your commitment to rural health!"
