Rural Health Institute

The mission of the University of Alabama Rural Health Institute for Clinical and Translational Science is to facilitate the highest attainable standard of health for those who live, work, or play in rural America by investigating not only disease and infirmity, but also factors associated with physical, mental, and social well-being.

We pursue this mission through the combined strength of scientific knowledge, professional skill, individual commitment, community support, and informed public policy.

The RHI seeks to foster collaboration among various disciplines, leading to high quality, mission-relevant research.
