Rural Assistance Center Celebrates 10 Years of Service to Rural America

What's New

2012-12-12

by Rural Assistance Center, Grand Forks, ND

The Rural Assistance Center (RAC), a national information resource for rural health and human services, is celebrating 10 years of service to rural America. Since its launch in December 2002, RAC’s website, www.raconline.org, has received over 6 million visits, and RAC staff members have responded to over 8,700 information requests from people across the country. “People in rural organizations have to wear many hats. With their multiple responsibilities, time is always at a premium,” said RAC Program Director Kristine Sande. “Because of that, opportunities might be lost, not only for the providers but also the communities they serve. So our mission has always been to level the playing field for rural providers across the country in finding and competing for funding opportunities, staying abreast of current regulations and events, and accessing current information.”
