Module 3: Program Clearinghouse

This section provides examples of rural programs addressing services integration in their communities. The HRSA Federal Office of Rural Health Policy previously funded rural communities to implement services integration programs as part of the 330A Outreach Authority program. This program focused on expanding access to healthcare services in rural areas. Examples of former 330A Outreach Authority grantees and other promising programs that developed a services integration program in a rural community are provided below. Services integration program model information is available in Module 2.
