Mission of the Greene County Rural Health Network:
After obtaining a small grant from the NYS Office of Rural Health to begin formation, our non-profit organization was incorporated in 1996. Since then, the Greene County Rural Health Network has enriched Greene County’s health care community by distributing nearly $5.5 million in grants to projects that further its mission to improve the health of Greene County residents.
Health Weight Initiative
The Healthy Weight Initiative aims to promote healthy weight among Greene County residents through exercise opportunities, healthier food options, and support for those struggling with eating disorders.
The program, Managing your Weight Loss with Manageable Challenges provides a realistic way to lose weight.

Medication Drop Boxes
Discard your unused medications properly and safely. Several law enforcement agencies and pharmacies around Greene and Columbia counties have installed medication drop boxes to help address the abuse of prescription drugs and prevent accidental overdose.
Anyone can deposit discontinued, expired or unwanted medications, especially controlled substances. No Questions asked and No Paperwork required. Just put your medications in these boxes, including prescription narcotics.
Schedule Health Screening
Obtaining all your health screening exams is one of the best steps you can take to ensure your good health. Early detection leads to early treatment, which means better health outcomes and lower health care costs. You can also see the recommended guidelines for health screening tests and immunization and check if you are up to date.
