People who live in rural areas often face unique challenges obtaining health care. In an attempt to improve access to high-quality health care for rural citizens, the Health Resources and Services Administration Office of Rural Health Policy has undertaken several initiatives. One such initiative is a new pilot program from Montana’s Department of Public Health and Health Services, Frontier Community Health Care Network Coordination Grant. This program is designed to improve quality of health care by connecting people with a community health worker. We need your help to find out how the program is meeting the needs of those who have participated in the program.
