Best Practices Survey

GRHA is surveying communities across the state to compile a database reflecting best practices we all can use to improve rural health. Designed with your time in mind, the components of the brief survey include  who is offering the program, what the program goals are, who the program serves, why it is offered, the impact it has in the community/state, and staff contact information. 

Please click the Best Practices Survey under Quick Links at left.

GRHA Member Makes Announcement

Health Facility Partners
HEALTH FACILITY PARTNERS -  has received its Women Business Enterprise status, St of TN, and announces its recent alignment with the National Rural Health Association as a SILVER CORPORATE SPONSOR.  This level of commitment to be designated as a WBE and to the NRHA organization underlines our belief in the importance of equality of healthcare to our nation's rural citizens.  At HEALTH FACILITY PARTNERS, we bring years of combined expertise to the challenge of creating safe, healing environments from rural medical facilities to big complex campuses.  We are not simply an architectural, interior design and facility management firm; we uniquely package those services with the real-life perspective of day-to-day facility management and operations. Because we've "been there - done that", we know how funding obstacles frustrate the goals of all medical facilities. Our goal is to partner with our clients to maximize every dollar available, whether for capital projects or operating expenses. 
 
Visit us at www.healthfp.netor call (423) 899-2996.  If you are facing a dilemma about your facility, call Mike, Tracey, or Andrea for a phone visit.
