The UK Center of Excellence in Rural Health was established in 1990 to address health disparities in rural
Kentucky, including a chronic shortage of health professionals and residents’ poor health status. The
Center accomplishes this through health professionals education, health policy research, health care
service and community engagement. The Center serves as the federally designated Kentucky Office of
Rural Health (KORH). This program provides a framework for linking small rural communities with local,
state and federal resources while working toward long-term solutions to rural health issues. Kentucky
Home place was created by the Center to address health issues related to lifestyle choices, environmental
factors, inadequate health insurance and general lack of understanding of the healthcare system. Their
mission is to provide access to medical, social and environmental services for the citizens of the
Commonwealth. The center houses the UK North Fork Valley Community Health Center, the host clinic for
the East Kentucky Family Medicine Residency Program.
The Kentucky Office of Rural Health (KORH), established in 1991, is a Federal/State partnership
authorized by Federal Legislation. The Center of Excellence in Rural Health serves as the federally
designated Kentucky Office of Rural Health. The mission of the KORH is to support the health and
well-being of Kentuckians by promoting access to rural health services. The program provides a
framework for linking small rural communities with local state and federal resources while working toward
long-term solutions to rural health issues. The KORH assists clinicians, administrators and consumers find
ways to improve communications, finances and access to quality health care while insuring that funding
agencies and policy makers are made aware of the needs of rural communities.
