Rural Health Institute of New York (RHI)

Rural Health Institute of New York (RHI) is a nonprofit organization based in Cortland. As its name suggests, the group focuses on the health needs of rural communities, where distance, limited services and an older population can make good care harder to reach. It is a community-minded group.

Cortland County and the nearby counties are largely rural, so an organization that keeps health issues in focus is a useful community resource. It is a nonprofit, which means its work is aimed at public benefit rather than profit.
