Wellstar Rural Health Access Program

Pregnancy support for rural communities

You should feel supported through pregnancy and new motherhood—no matter where you live. The Rural Health Access Program (RHAP) is a free, community-based program that connects expectant mothers in rural areas and small towns with education, care coordination and personalized support.

From pregnancy through early parenthood, RHAP helps families stay healthy, informed and connected to the care and resources they need close by.
