Mission
Health and health care is the leading challenge facing communities across the Southern United States. Increasing chronic disease coupled with mounting fiscal pressure threatens communities' access to care, the economic viabilityof the health care system, and the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities. In the mid-1980s, a group of individuals from multiple disciplines and states came together to exchange ideas and experiences in response to the growing complexity of health care infrastructure, access and policy issues, and the resultingeconomic impact. In 1990, this group formally organized as the Southern Extension and Research Activity Information Exchange Group (SERA-IEG) 19, focusing on rural health. This network of research, Extension and health professionals is building collaborative partnerships to improve community health and well-being and welcomes
new members.
