Defining Rurality Home-Based Care VA Health & Benefits App
VHA OFFICE OF RURAL HEALTH
Congress established the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Office of Rural
Health (ORH) in 2006 (38 USC § 7308) to conduct, coordinate, promote, and
disseminate research on issues that affect the nearly five million Veterans who
reside in rural communities. The mandate also requires ORH to develop, refine
and promulgate policies, best practices, lessons learned, and innovative and
successful programs.
ORH fulfils its mission by supporting targeted research, developing innovative
programs, and identifying new care models. Working through its five Veterans
Rural Health Resource Centers as well as partners from academia, state and local
governments, private industry, and non-profit organizations, ORH strives to
break down the barriers separating rural Veterans from quality care.
