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.

provision in the law could help improve
 academic outcomes for low-income students by
providing much-needed health services at school.

Statehealthfacts.org goes Mobile and Enhances Main Site
with New Features

Statehealthfacts.org has been optimized for
use on mobile devices - when you are on the
road or in a meeting and need to know how
many California residents are uninsured or
 how many children in Florida are covered through Medicaid,
 just go to www.statehealthfacts.orgon your mobile device and
 easily find the answer. On the main website, enhancements
 include updated state and category main pages featuring an
 interactive "Facts At-A-Glance" section displaying key indicators
 which can be printed and shared. To help you stay informed of
 the latest data on statehealthfacts, the site now offers RSS
 feeds of all updates or those specific to a category. Look for the
 RSS link at the top right corner of all "Recent Updates" boxes
on the home page and all category pages available online.
