The WI Office of Rural Health has comprehensive news and funding items related to rural healthcare on the Rural Reporter page.  Please visit us there for a wealth of information.

 

However, the Rural Health Information Hub (RHIhub) provides two news feeds specific to EMS, and we offer those below for your use. The feeds are live and will likely contain different information each time you view this page.

 

RHIhub is a federally funded agency that gathers and distributes national rural health and human services information online, including a dedicated rural EMS page. Because RHIhub aggregates information across states, the feeds are not Wisconsin specific but will contain Wisconsin information when it is available.
