through health professionals’ education, health policy research, health care service, and
community engagement. The Center serves as the federally-designated Kentucky Office of Rural Health.

The KORH, established in 1991, is a federal-state partnership authorized by federal legislation. The mission of the KORH is to support the health and well-being of Kentuckians by promoting access to rural health services. The KORH assists clinicians, administrators, and consumers in finding ways to improve communications, finances, and access to quality health care while ensuring that funding agencies and policymakers are made aware of the needs of rural communities.

  • The RISE of Rural Recovery

    The RISE of Rural Recovery
    2026/03/09

    Across rural Kentucky, a new workforce is rising to support families affected by substance use disorder. In this episode of The Bridge, host Amelia Holliday explores the RISE program at the UK Center of Excellence in Rural Health—an innovative training initiative designed to strengthen support for individuals and families impacted by opioid and substance use disorders (OUD and SUD).

    Amelia sits down with RISE Rural Project Manager and Apprenticeship Coordinator Josh Adams and Jordan Winchester, residential coordinator for Beacons of Hope, a key community partner. Together, they discuss how RISE combines dual certifications and hands-on apprenticeships to prepare participants to support individuals and families affected by substance use disorder.

    Their conversation reveals how partnerships like these are helping grow a recovery-focused workforce rooted in rural communities.

    For more information about RISE and how to get involved, contact Josh Adams at Joshua.Adams21@uky.edu.

    Rural health care thrives when communities lead with heart, innovation, and a commitment to their neighbors. In this episode of The Bridge, host Amelia Holliday heads to Western Kentucky to shine a light on Ohio County Healthcare, Kentucky’s 2025 Community Star Award recipient, in honor of National Rural Health Day.

    We take a closer look at what sets OCH apart, from their nationally recognized patient experience to their Mobile Access Clinic, expanded behavioral health services, and forward-thinking specialty care. Their story reflects what’s possible when a rural health system stays rooted in community and dedicated to meeting people where they are.

    Through conversations and on-the-ground insight, we explore how Ohio County Healthcare is strengthening local health, advancing rural innovation, and proving that high-quality care can flourish close to home.
