A portion of Virginia's State Rural Health Plan deals with defining “rural” and developing a database that could be used for such things as identifying disparities between urban and rural settings and studying rural health trends here in Virginia.
One of the goals of the Data and Rural Definitions Council was to develop a web-based data portal to allow the public access to this data. The rural health data portal is about to become a reality!
This data portal will be introduced to the public for the first time at the 2009 Virginia Association of Free Clinics and the Virginia Rural Health Association Joint Conference in November. Not registered yet? Act fast! The deadline for discounted registration and hotel rooms is October 21. Come see how to use the portal and the data and mapping capabilities available at a session in the afternoon on Monday November 16. See the conference agenda here!
