Rural Health Group, Inc. is a non-profit, federally qualified community health center based in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, serving residents of Northeastern North Carolina. It provides primary medical care, dental care, and other health-related services to underserved populations. The organization functions as a safety net clinic for the region, with a policy of not refusing service due to inability to pay (defined as annual household income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level) and services offered on a sliding fee scale based on income and family size. Founded in 1974, Rural Health Group grew out of a community effort to expand access to low-cost and free health care for people in the region, and it has cared for more than 30,000 individuals. Its board includes a majority of active patients and a mix of professionals, and governance emphasizes business modeling, cost-benefit analysis, and program development to guide decision-making.
