The editorial calendar is as follows:
October 2007: Recruitment
Provider recruitment, staff recruitment, pipeline
activities.
December 2007: Regulation
Legislation, government, compliance, lobbying.
February 2008: Community
Diversity, non-practitioner supporters of rural
health, best practices for small towns.
April 2008: Organizations and Associations
WRHA and other friends of healthcare and rural
development.
June 2008: Outpatient Services
Rural physical therapy, occupational therapy,
mental health services, pharmacy, and more.
August 2008: Facilities
New projects, needed projects, funding sources,
success stories.
