Best Practices and Models of Care in Rural Health

The Access Council of the Virginia State Rural Health Plan has issued Best Practices and Models of Care in Rural Health. The compendium compiles best and promising practices and models of care for rural health in the following four specialized areas: oral health, maternal and newborn health, behavioral and mental health, and telemedicine and telehealth. The document will serve as a resource for implementing the recommendations of the Virginia State Rural Health Plan, including effective new programs and practices to address Virginia’s most challenging health issues.
