Fulfilling the PA Program Mission

The RRCC PA Program has received a $400,000 HRSA grant to expand the program and focus on placing primary care PAs in rural areas. Two students enrolling in August 2011 will receive scholarships covering all tuition and fees while they are in the PA program.

This grant is just the beginning. The RRCC PA program has partnered with three significant Colorado organizations to collaborate on increasing access to primary healthcare all over Colorado.

Stay tuned to the PA website for more news about the Colorado Collaboration for Rural Healthcare Access.
