RURAL HEALTH RESEARCH CENTER

Our Center is located within the University of Minnesota, and we benefit from the breadth of expertise available among our colleagues at the University. Our Center's home is the Division of Health Policy and Management in the School of Public Health... Our dedicated team of experts at the University of Minnesota Rural Health Research Center (RHRC) conducts research to advance equity and improve health and well-being among those who are frequently absent from policy discussions, but whose lives are deeply impacted by policy decisions. Our work is informed by the lived experiences of rural people, families, and communities that experience disproportionate health risks and exhibit disproportionate resilience... We focus on groups that experience disproportionate health risks because of structural inequities, including communities of color, Indigenous people, LGBTQ individuals, people with disabilities; women and girls, older adults, and people with limited incomes in rural communities.
