Rural Health Clinics

​

As important as Rural Health Clinics are to African Americans living in these counties, they often times are left out on an island to fend for themselves.

 

More than 25% of RHCs are facing a financial crisis and covid has created additional strain.

​

Rural counties have a higher share of older Americans than cities or suburbs. The south is comprised of 26 million Blacks, or 56%.  African Americans make up 7.8% of rural and the health outcomes are far worse for diabetes and hypertension

 

We are committed to partnering with RHCs serving Black populations across the nation, especially in the south.
