An essential part of the mission of the New England Rural Health RoundTable is to ensure that policy decisions at the state and federal levels do not adversely effect health care provision in rural communities.
Policy decisions made through legislation, administrative rules, or the budgetary process can have major impacts on rural health care providers and individuals who use those services.
Our Role in Policy Decision-Making
The Policy Committee is charged with the responsibility of proposing activities designed to increase the awareness of the needs of rural New England citizens and providers and reviewing policies, procedures, and legislation affected by these areas, making appropriate reports and recommendations to the Board of Directors.
The organization has responded to policy issues in a number of ways including the development of policy statements, public testimony at forums and legislative hearings, and more research oriented work to better identify the causes of problems.
Rural Data for Action A Comparative Analysis of Health Data for the New England Region is a unique examination of the health care and health related data by the NERHRT.
The NERHRT will continue to monitor policy issues that impact rural communities and provide appropriate responses that will address these challenges.
