RHF worked with Allegheny, Health, Education and Research Foundation (AHERF), a statewide integrated academic health system, in preparing a successful National Telecommunications and Information Administration grant proposal. This project will assist in extending AHERF's network to offer specialty services to rural communities where access to these services and resources would otherwise be impossible to support. This application included Allegheny General Hospital and the rural communities of Clarion, Indiana and St. Marys, Pennsylvania.
