Abstract: The purpose of the Rural

organizations align resources, achieve
economies of scale and efficiency, and
address challenges more effectively as a
group than as single providers. The
Network Planning program promotes
the planning and development of
healthcare networks to: (1) Achieve
efficiencies; (2) expand access to,
coordinate, and improve the quality of
essential health care services; and (3)
