Health Care Needed for Rural Children

Mary C. Ahearn

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1980, vol. 03 RDP, issue 3

Abstract: Steady progress has been made in improving health conditions in recent decades, but chances for good health as adults continue to be less for rural than urban children. Poverty, lack of education, and scarce medical resources are more prevalent in rural areas. Gaps in Government assistance also contribute to reduced opportunities for needed health care among the Nation's 22 million rural youth.
