Office of Primary Care and Rural Health
The State Office of Primary Care and Rural Health works closely with local health advocates on a variety of community development activities designed to increase access to healthcare in Delaware. The office collaborates closely on a variety of recruitment activities, including the State Loan Repayment Program, the Conrad State 30/J-1 Visa Waiver Program and the National Health Service Corps initiatives to increase health care professionals serving in Delaware.
While the Delaware Division of Public Health does not offer primary care services to residents of Delaware, you can find those services at one of the Community Health Centers .
