Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida:
Center for Rural Health Research & Policy
About the Center:
The Center for
Rural Health Research and Policy was established in December 2002
with a gift endowment from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida. The
center is dedicated to the advancement of quality health services
and research in Florida’s rural communities.
The core mission of the center includes researching and addressing
the unique challenges and opportunities facing Florida’s rural
health care system, providers, and consumers.
At least 11% of Florida’s population lives in rural communities and
are adversely impacted by limited access to care and a
maldistribution of physicians. The center’s work helps the state
better understand what Rural Florida is facing and how to address
those needs.
