Federal Office of Rural Health Policy

The Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) is a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It focuses on improving healthcare access and quality for people living in rural areas. The office works to address the unique health challenges faced by these communities, such as fewer healthcare facilities and providers. FORHP develops programs, provides funding, and collaborates with state and local organizations to enhance health services and support rural healthcare initiatives, ensuring that rural populations receive the necessary care and resources they need for their health and well-being.
