University of Kentucky College of Public Health Professor Ty Borders was recently appointed to the National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services.
This committee is part of the Health Resources and Services Administration and includes a 21-member panel of nationally recognized rural health experts that is responsible for making recommendations to the Department of Health and Human Services on issues related to rural health. Borders's appointment will continue until April 2019.
“This appointment is an honor not only for Dr. Borders and his family, but also for Kentucky,” Rep.

His unique insight about evidence-based strategies that could improve rural health and health care delivery will greatly benefit the committee.”
