New

Report from NRHA on Developing Collaborative Relationships between Rural

Community Health Centers and Hospitals

A new report by the National Rural Health Association offers

practical advice to create successful partnerships between rural hospitals and

community health centers. The report, " Practical Tips and Information

Resources for Developing Collaborative Relationships, " analyzed the

elements of five collaborative models and their benefits to the CHC, hospital

and community. The report also identified the barriers that these programs have

overcome to achieve current levels of effectiveness.
