On National Rural Health Day, THI recognizes the unique challenges faced by rural communities. Our mission to advance the health of all includes addressing the barriers faced by rural families.
As co-convener of the Rural Texas Maternal Health Rescue Plan, we outlined strategies to improve access to maternal care in rural regions by strengthening health care infrastructure. These efforts aim to improve rural maternal health and ensure that every mother and child, regardless of geography, can access the care they need to thrive. The Texas Rural Maternal Health Assembly recently convened again to continue aligning partners and strategies that strengthen maternal health across rural Texas.
