Rural Legal Scholarship: Policy Solutions for a Healthier Rural America

Five scholars have just published "Designing Policy Solutions to Build a Healthier Rural America" in the Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics.  Here's the abstract:  

Disparities exist in the health, livelihood, and opportunities for the 46-60 million people living in America’s rural communities. Rural communities across the United States need a new energy and focus concentrated around health and health care that allows for the designing capturing, and spreading of existing and new innovations. This paper aims to provide a framework for policy solutions to build a healthier rural America describing both the current state of rural health policy and the policies and practices in states that could be used as a national model for positive change.
