- The Kentucky Rural Health Works Program (CD)
- Description = This presentation highlights the vital effect a local health care system has on the economy and development of a rural community. Health care is often second only to the local school system in the number of people it employs and it often accounts for 15 to 20 percent of the jobs in small towns. The aim of the Kentucky Rural Health Works Program is to make the public more aware of health care’s importance to the rural economy. This can be done by showing communities and their leaders the impact of the local health care system, both direct and indirect, on development and business growth. The program is a collaborative effort of the University of Kentucky’s Department of Agricultural Economics, the UK Cooperative Extension Service, the UK Center for Rural Health, and the Kentucky State Office of Rural Health. They work together to assist rural Kentucky communities in promoting and supporting rural economic development and local health care networks.
