The National Association of Rural Health Clinics (NARHC) is a membership-based body within the hospital and health care sector dedicated to rural health clinics. It focuses on informing and advocating for these clinics to enhance their capacity to provide affordable, high-quality care to patients in underserved rural communities. The organization is based in Alexandria, Virginia, and it works with national partners on research and analytical initiatives to support practical decision-making in rural health care. Its main audience consists of rural health clinics and the communities they serve, addressing barriers to accessible and reliable care. NARHC builds collaborative ties with other national organizations to tackle issues such as behavioral health and public health readiness, as reflected in recent partnerships with Ruralhealthworks in 2023 and prior work with NRHA and NOSORH on related programs, including a COVID-19 testing and mitigation effort.
