The CHSD team has been supporting grantees of the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Office of Rural Health Policy since 2002, providing technical assistance to more than 550 Rural Health Care Services’ Network Planning, Network Development, Workforce Development, Outreach, and Delta States grantees across the country. The team believes that the most effective technical assistance is provided by people who are in an ongoing relationship with the communities they serve. Based on this conviction, each grantee is assigned a dedicated technical assistance consultant who works in partnership with the grantee throughout the grant period. This long-term association allows the technical assistance consultants to develop trust and rapport with grantees through an understanding of their communities, partners, and program goals. The consultant serves as an unbiased partner for sharing challenges and offering objective consultation.
