Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP)
FORHP advises the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services about health care issues affecting rural communities.

Rural Health Information (RHI) Hub
The RHIhub is a clearinghouse of information on rural health issues. It also provides current resources on rural health care and population health including toolkits and models for programs that work in rural communities.

Rural Health Mapping Tool
The Rural Health Mapping Tool integrates several measures of health and prosperity into a single tool, providing a more detailed picture of the well-being of rural communities. With this new tool, users can observe the associations between the prosperity of a county and a range of health and other factors, including the leading causes of death, sociodemographic factors, and physical environment.

Rural Health Research Gateway
The Rural Health Research Gateway provides access to research conducted by the Rural Health Research Centers, including rural health research products and journal articles.
