The Adirondack Rural Health Network is a community partnership of 16 public, private and non-profit organizations in Upstate New York. Its membership includes the region's critical access hospital and its affiliated nursing care and assisted living facilities (Inter-Lakes Health), New York State's largest freestanding community health center (Hudson Headwaters Health Network), five county public health agencies, the regional emergency medical services council, mental health agencies, and a family planning organization.
The Adirondack Rural Health Network was established in 1992 through a grant award between the Upper Hudson Primary Care Consortium and the New York State Department of Health. Since its inception the Adirondack Rural Health Network has provided a forum to address rural health care delivery problems. It links community health centers hospitals, local public health units, community mental health programs, emergency medical services, and other health-related service agencies by providing the forum to address regional rural health care delivery problems. Adirondack Rural Health Network creates a collaborative process for developing strategies and for implementing, monitoring and evaluating the regional health care system.
