The Rural Connection

The Rural Connection newsletter was first published more than a dozen years ago. It served as an excellent way to provide information to assist and inform rural health stakeholders. The newsletter share many stories about VHA and other rural health care providers caring for Veterans.

The VHA Office of Rural Health (ORH) remains committed to our customers - Veterans, their family members, caregivers, friends and communities; as well as VA employees and rural health partners. The newsletter will be replaced with more timely features and news stories about how ORH is making a positive impact on rural Veterans and their health and well-being.

New content is available on the Showcasing Excellence and ORH In the News pages.
