NRHA added to HPSA/MUA/P Committee
 HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced
today a revised membership list for the Health Resources and Services
Administration's (HRSA) Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) and Medically
Underserved Areas/Populations (MUA/P) negotiated rulemaking committee.
The new list, which has increased from 24 to
28 members, includes National Rural Health Association CEO Alan Morgan as a
participant. Previously excluded from the committee, NRHA fought to fix this
obvious oversight by HRSA. This effort's success was due in large part to the
help of the numerous NRHA members and friends who offered to call and write Mary
Wakefield, HRSA administrator, and their congressional representatives to ensure
broad rural representation on the committee. For this we are extremely
grateful. Additionally, NRHA greatly appreciates Dr. Wakefield and HRSA for
their willingness to reassess the committee makeup and their continued
commitment to improving health care in rural America.
