The North Dakota and NORC Rural Health Reform Policy Research Center (RHRPRC) was a four-year consortium that combined the resources of two premier institutions:

Funded in 2012 by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, the RHRPRC measured the impact of health reform policies on rural and frontier communities. The center developed strategies for policy makers and rural providers in leveraging health reform to improve access to healthcare services and the overall health status of rural residents.

Research conducted by the RHRPRC informed policy makers and rural providers to:

  • Increase access to healthcare services
  • Improve overall health status of rural residents
  • Assist rural communities in securing adequate, affordable, high-quality healthcare services

The Center for Rural Health was the lead organization for the RHRPRC, working with its partner NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis.
