Mapping the road to a healthy future

Through new and forward-thinking work and collaboration, UNMC and rural Nebraskans can together shape a new vision for a healthy rural future.

The UNMC Office of Rural Health Initiatives serves as the umbrella under which most of UNMC’s rural outreach education activities are developed. The Office of Rural Health Initiatives provides vision, leadership, strategic and operational direction and support for a variety of rural health programs, services and initiatives that work to enhance access to quality health care as close to home as possible for Nebraskans.

Through a network of expert stakeholders and partners from a variety of disciplines on the UNMC campus or across Nebraska, the Office of Rural Health Initiatives strives to enhance coordinated and interdisciplinary approaches to shape a healthy rural future for Nebraska and beyond.
