The program aims to increase access to family medicine and obstetrics services for historically marginalized and low-income rural residents in Allegany, Livingston, Steuben and Wyoming counties, according to an Aug. 16 news release from the health system.

URMC will partner with Tri-County Family Medicine, Highland Family Medicine/Department of Family Medicine Residency Program and Noyes Memorial Hospital to establish a rural track program with a maternal health and obstetrics pathway using the grant.
