Solicitation Profile
The New York State Department of Health is committed to promoting access to timely, quality and effective health care for all New Yorkers. The State has a long history of successful initiatives that have improved access in communities with provider shortages. Despite these successes, challenges remain, particularly in rural areas. In addition to provider shortages, people living in rural areas generally are older, have lower incomes, and experience higher rates of death than people living in the rest of the state. Further, most rural areas lack public transportation and are affected by geographic barriers and weather conditions that often make it difficult to access health care services.

In recognition of these challenges, the Charles D. Cook Office of Rural Health, situated within the Department of Health, administers the Rural Health Network Development Program (RHNDP). The overarching goal of the RHNDP is to improve the health of New Yorkers living in rural areas by supporting the development and operation of rural health networks. Rural health networks facilitate cooperative and collaborative efforts among rural health providers, which is vital to improve access to essential services, enhance coordination of services, increase the efficiency of service delivery, and preserve the stability and viability of rural communities.
