Who We Are
RESOLVE: A Rural Health Collaborative is a strategic partnership for excellence in rural health care delivery through intervention-based research projects implemented from the perspective of the people living and working in Montana’s 56 counties and 7 tribal nations.
The RESOLVE Collaborative wants to support providers facing rural health care challenges. We seek to increase rural access to the most current and relevant clinical solutions regardless of location.
RESOLVE brings together the reach, scale, and data assets of a large regional health system and the academic rigor, spirit of service and deep rural health expertise of our flagship public university. We “resolve” to partner with anyone sparked to join in the development and delivery of health care innovation. Your voice is essential.
We Share a Mission to Face the Challenges
- State-of-the-art care and treatments are often out of reach
- There is vast geographic distance between our small towns and specialty care
- The great majority of rural areas have a health care provider shortage
We Engage a Solutions-Driven Approach
- Implement strategies in partnership to deliver state-of-the-art care to rural places
- Empower providers, patients and community to participate as sources of innovation and ideas
- Connect rural and Indigenous providers to current clinical research applications in support of the people and communities they serve
