Assuming the prospective clinic site meets location and staffing requirements for federally certified Rural Health Clinics, the RHC certification process can take anywhere from 4 to 6 months or longer. The certification wait-time should not discourage prospective clinics from seeking RHC certification as this affords time to prepare the clinic space for survey. The Colorado Rural Health Center provides comprehensive support services specifically designed to assist providers through the entire RHC certification process. For more information contact CRHC at: 303.832.7493 or toll‐free from rural Colorado 800.851.6782 or email at info@coruralhealth.org
