Welcome to the webpage for the Centre for Rural Health Research, home of The Rural Maternity Care New Emerging Team (RM-NET). We are a Centre of academic and community-based researchers, policy makers, administrators and other key stakeholders working together to achieve a comprehensive understanding of rural health services in British Columbia and have focused on rural maternity care services to date.

Our goals are to:

• Investigate the state of health services in rural BC from multiple perspectives;
• Improve understanding of the consequences for British Columbians trying to access, provide and administer health services in rural BC;
• Provide evidence-based research to affect policy and practice decisions for health services in BC; and
• Support research that is relevant to rural BC communities.

Please visit the rest of our website to learn more about our program of research. If you have something to add to our website, please email Leslie Carty at leslie@ruralmatresearch.net
