The Crisis in Rural Health Care
The new Kansas Center for Rural Health is exploring ways to reduce and eliminate health disparities in rural Kansas.
"The center will work with rural physicians, providers and health systems to improve access and support quality health care for rural Kansans while considering the unique social and economic factors that determine health outcomes for people in rural areas. It is critical to our mission that citizens in all parts of the state have comprehensive care."- Robert Moser, M.D.
