Housed in the East Tennessee State University College of Public Health, the Center for Rural Health Research works to improve health and well-being at the community, state, regional and national levels.   Located in the heart of Appalachia, the Center fulfills its mission by engaging rural communities to advance health and improve quality of life through innovative solutions that contribute to the expanding evidence base of what works in rural America.  The Center works to honor and preserve its rich Appalachian heritage and Tennessee ties through distinctive research, community engagement, training and policy.

The Department of Public Health and Healthcare Leadership (PHHL) in the Waldron College of Health and Human Services at Radford University prepares a diverse body of students to improve health in their communities through advocacy, leadership, and service. The PHHL department offers three undergraduate programs (B.S. in Healthcare Administration, B.S. in Health Sciences, and B.S. in Public Health) and three graduate programs (Master of Healthcare Administration, M.S. in Health Sciences, and Doctor of Health Sciences). PHHL programs are offered in a variety of formats, including 100% online or hybrid with traditional, dual-degree, and accelerated tracks, along with several focused concentrations.

Most recently, PHHL has expanded its academic offerings to include a graduate certificate in Clinical Research. The 12-credit hours certificate may be completed 100% online in two academic semesters. Applications are currently being accepted.
