The Office was established by the 1990 Session of the Mississippi Legislature with the
assistance of a federal State Offices of Rural Health Grant and an internal allocation of Mississippi State Department of Health funds.
Of the 82 counties in the state, 65 are non-metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). With 80% of the counties being non-MSAs,
Mississippi is one of the most rural states in the nation.
