Why is rural health a unique issue?
California is one of the few states that has an immense rural population and geographic region (nearly four million people in 55 of 58 counties that have some rural population) but is dominated politically by a few urban areas with large populations. CSRHA works to bring individuals in these communities together to share one voice that can be heard alongside urban communities.

What does CSRHA consider rural?
CSRHA recognizes that there are many definitions of rural, which are connected to state and federal programs. The Califronia Rural Health Policy Council defines rural as any area with a population of less than 250 people per square mile with no incorporated area larger than 50,000 people.

What does CSRHA do?
