Health and Well Being

ACRE believes that people need and deserve care near where they live. As such developing transport and mobile healthcare solutions are vital to improving health outcomes for rural communities where services are often distant. ACRE supports the highlighting and dissemination of good practice in the delivery of effective rural healthcare models. We want investment in solutions bring healthcare and patients closer together including the provision of mobile services.
