CU stays on track to support rural health care needs

Despite population growth in the tens of thousands over the past few years, two-thirds of Colorado’s 64 counties remain rural or frontier. – Frontier counties have fewer than six people per square mile. The problem is, nearly all of those counties are short on access to primary care, dental care and mental health services. For 17 years, the University of Colorado School of Medicine Rural Program has been a pivotal part of the solution.
