Building Healthy Rural Communities
The Federal Office of Rural Health Policy's (FORHP) Flex Program Reverse Site Visit (RSV) is an opportunity for state Flex Program recipients to convene and share information about the Flex Program and critical access hospitals (CAHs). This event will focus on the latest information in the Flex Program including discussion of strategies to engage CAHs in activities to support healthy rural communities. States will share stories of their Flex Program experiences and successes with one another, with their FORHP project officers and with other rural partners and stakeholders.
