WELLSVILLE The Rural Health Clinic program was established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid in 1977 to increase access to primary care services in rural, underserved communities.
After two years of intense effort, the Jones Memorial Primary Care Practices primary care offices in Hornell, Wellsville, Belvidere, and Bolivar have been certified RHC.
“Rural Health Clinic status is another way of ensuring that the quality services provided by our primary care practices meet RHC guidelines,” explained Michele McMorris, Jones Memorial Medical Practices Director of Operations. “The practice management team has been focused on this goal since early in 2019. With RHC status, our patients will continue to have access to the care they need, close to home.”
