Meet the Team

CEARH is comprised largely of faculty and staff from the Community and Economic Development Initiative of Kentucky (CEDIK) at the University of Kentucky and Oklahoma State University. The CEARH team has extensive rural health expertise: both in research capacity as well as the ability to create tools and resources and deliver trainings, for rural health leaders and their stakeholders.

On June 10, 2021 CEARH Director Alison Davis presented a webinar, hosted by RHIhub, to share more about our efforts and to gather input on what rural health stakeholders would like to see from the center.

Members of the advisory council include media outlets that disseminate news and research on rural health. The Rural Health Leadership Radio is designed specifically for rural listeners and The Rural Blog is a national, daily dissemination tool for rural stakeholders with a particular emphasis on the rural media.
