Our Mission & Our Story

Rooted in Community. Committed to Care.

At Rural Health Partners of Greater Eufaula, our mission is simple but powerful: to promote the health of residents in the rural communities of southeast Alabama and southwest Georgia. We do this by supporting healthcare infrastructure and improving the delivery, availability, and accessibility of quality healthcare and health education. By aligning with hospitals, providers, educators, and leaders, we advocate for long-term solutions that strengthen our region’s health outcomes.

We are a coalition of healthcare professionals, families, business owners, and community leaders who understand the challenges faced in rural healthcare. We founded RHP to create a unified voice for the underserved, to pursue grants and funding where none existed, and to build bridges between providers and the people they serve. Our work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a belief that geography should never determine the quality of care a person receives.
