This matching grant program began in 1991 and has accomplished the creation of state offices in all 50 states. Each office's mission is to help their individual rural communities build health care delivery systems. They accomplish this mission by: collecting and disseminating information; providing technical assistance; helping to coordinate rural health interests state-wide; and by supporting efforts to improve recruitment and retention of health professionals. These offices created the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health to ensure that the states' perspectives on rural health were recognized nationally.
