Rural Health Resources - Help Us Build This Webpage

Rural communities bring strength and resilience to our region, with unique assets and opportunities to improve  access to care, quality of life, and overall health. At the Greater Rochester Health Foundation, we’re committed to supporting these communities in building on their strengths by providing resources and tailored support to meet their goals for health and well-being.
 

We’re committed to showing up, listening, and strengthening our relationships. Every rural community has its own unique approaches and strengths. In efforts to deepen how we support rural communities beyond grantmaking, we’re building this Rural Health Resource page, and we need your help!  

 

One of our goals is to provide relevant and valuable information that reflects the needs of your neighborhoods. By sharing your thoughts and ideas, you’ll help shape what’s included on this resource page!  Please let us know:

  • What information would you find most helpful/useful on this resource page?  
  • What are the best ways for community members to connect and collaborate?  
  • What health-related resources do you trust and rely on in your community?
