Welcome
Welcome to the Atlantic RURAL Centre. The mission of the RURAL Centre is to enhance our understanding of the physical and socioeconomic environmental influences on health and the capacity of rural Atlantic Canadians to respond to these challenges.
Formed in 2004 and funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Atlantic RURAL Centre promotes research development, collaboration, and knowledge translation between researchers, government agencies, concerned citizens and rural Atlantic Canadians.
