What We Do

We work in a variety of areas to bring together expertise and help share knowledge and tools with a broad range of rural and tribal stakeholders.

Cross-Cutting Work

The Center for Rural Health is designated as the North Dakota State Office of Rural Health, a federal-state partnership that helps rural communities build their healthcare services through collaborations and initiatives with a wide range of partners across the state.

Key Topics

We are a helping hand for rural and tribal communities in North Dakota, the region, and the nation.

We are also home to national programs and multi-state efforts related to rural and tribal health. These national and regional efforts help build and strengthen rural and tribal communities. The expertise cultivated through this work helps us do even more to support rural North Dakota.
