CHRC invited to present at the Maryland Association of Counties Conference
The CHRC was invited to present as part of a rural health panel at the Maryland Association of Counties conference earlier this month. The CHRC
presentation highlighted its grants to expand access in rural underserved communities, which have supported innovative strategies to expand access to primary, behavioral health, dental, and women's health services.
The CHRC has awarded 107 grants totaling $28 million to support programs in rural areas. These programs have collectively served more than 82,000 patients. The impact of these grants were summarized in a
series of white papers developed last year by the Maryland Rural Health Association (MRHA).
