Mississippi Office of Rural Health

The Mississippi Office of Rural Health (MORH) administers three federal grants and is involved with data collection on rural health needs, policy analysis and development, provision of technical assistance, health manpower recruitment, and helps to coordinate rural health interests state-wide.

The Office was established by the 1990 Session of the Mississippi Legislature with the assistance of a federal State Offices of Rural Health Grant and an internal allocation of Mississippi State Department of Health funds. Of the 82 counties in the state, 65 are non-metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). With 80% of the counties being non-MSAs, Mississippi is one of the most rural states in the nation.
