National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH)

NOSORH was established in 1995 to assist State Offices of Rural Health (SORH) in improving access to and quality health care for nearly 61 million rural Americans. NOSORH enhances the capacity of SORH to do this by supporting the development of state and community rural health leaders; creating and facilitating state, regional, and national partnerships that foster information sharing and spur rural health-related programs/activities; and enhancing access to quality healthcare services in rural communities.
