The Office of Rural Health Policy’s Health Care Services Outreach Program encourages the development of new and innovative health care delivery systems in rural communities that lack essential care services. The emphasis of the grant program is on service delivery through creative strategies requiring the grantee to form a consortium with at least two additional partners. Programs funded have varied greatly and have brought care that would not otherwise have been available to at least 2 million rural citizens across the country. Through consortia of schools, churches, emergency medical service providers, local universities, private practitioners and the like, rural communities have managed to create hospice care, bring health check-ups to children, and provide prenatal care to women in remote areas.

The Physician Advocacy Fellowship funds physicians to develop or enhance their advocacy skills by implementing a project in partnership with advocacy organizations. It seeks to make advocacy a core professional value for physicians and to develop a cadre of advocates with expertise in achieving system or policy change at the local, state, and national level.

Participating physicians design and implement projects to address disparities in health and service delivery, or deficiencies caused by racism, violence, environmental hazards, income inequality, or inadequate education.
