IN THE JOURNAL

NEW ISSUE:
RURAL HEALTH

Much attention is focused these days on the relatively poor health outcomes and heightened rate of socioeconomic disadvantage of rural America. The December issue of Health Affairs explores many dimensions of health and health care for the one out of five Americans who live in what the US Census Bureau defines as a rural area.

The December issue of Health Affairs was supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The Colorado Health Foundation, the Episcopal Health Foundation, the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, Con Alma Health Foundation, Empire Health Foundation, The John A. Hartford Foundation, the California Health Care Foundation, and St. David’s Foundation.
