New Reports and Recommendations for Rural Health Policy. Two new briefs from the National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services are now viewable online. During its September 2018 meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Committee took an in-depth look at two pertinent topics: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and oral health care services. The Committee examined the factors and impacts of these conditions in rural areas and sent its findings and recommendations to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
