Acortar distancias, construir comunidades más sanas
Fundada en 2023, la NMRHA adopta un enfoque interdisciplinar para crear y mantener comunidades rurales sanas a través del Marco Global Una Salud de los CDC, que reconoce que la salud de las personas está estrechamente relacionada con la salud de los animales y de nuestro entorno compartido. Nuestra Junta Directiva y nuestros miembros representan las variadas perspectivas de la salud humana, la sanidad animal, el medio ambiente y las ciencias agrarias.
