Federally funded since 1991, the purpose of the State Offices of Rural Health (SORH) grant program is to assist States in strengthening rural health care delivery systems by maintaining a focal point for rural health within each State. The program provides funding for an institutional framework that links small rural communities with State and Federal resources to help develop long term solutions to rural health problems.
