Ruralmanual.jpg (198309 bytes)

(available in print only), updated July, 2004
This book has been developed to assist rural community health centers in the effort to identify and obtain funding resources for building and equipment projects. Although this book is intended for rural community health centers, much of the information included is also useful to community health centers in urban and areas where the population size varies. We hope it will help health centers nationwide meet the capital challenges related to providing increased access to comprehensive medical, dental, mental health and substance abuse services for the nation's underserved and uninsured.

The philosophy behind this manual is that you—the health center leadership—must put yourself in control of your project from the beginning. This manual will help you understand the process of developing a facility project, and will help you formulate a management approach for success.
