Since
the founding of the Kentucky Rural Health Association (KRHA)
in 1999, it has sponsored conferences, discussions and
workshops on current topics pertaining to rural health.
Whether it provides Medicaid updates to rural members, works
to recruit health professionals to rural areas, or sends
representatives to meetings of the National Rural Health
Association, the KRHA has been faithful to its two goals of
educating members on rural health issues; and serving as an
advocate for equitable access to health care for rural
Kentucky.
