Emory’s commitment to rural health
Emory University has a longstanding commitment to serving the health of those living in rural Georgia. On average, patient populations living in rural counties experience higher rates of hypertension, obesity, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic pulmonary disease, and diabetes. And, at Emory, we’re working to change that. From clinical trials to cardiac health assessments, Emory researchers and clinicians strive to bring best-in-class health care to people across the state. Discover just some of the ways Emory researchers are responding to these health challenges, producing long-term benefits for the health of rural Georgians, as well as all rural Americans.
