About Us

The Rural Health Medical Program, Incorporated believes that our communities are the best places to live, work, and pursue individual, family, and community aspirations.

In 1977, the Rural Health Medical Program Incorporated (RHMPI) was established in Uniontown, Alabama. What started as one (1) Community Health Center within a Public Housing Authority providing Primary Health Care and Dental services to the entire community of Uniontown, Alabama, has since grown from one (1) site with ten (10) employees over the past forty (40) years to eight (8) Community Health Center sites and one (1) mobile clinic unit with over sixty (60) employees under the leadership of an exceptional Board of Leaders representing five counties (Dallas, Perry, Marengo, Monroe, and Wilcox) counties and a multi-talented, charismatic, intelligent Chief Executive Office, Keshee Dozier-Smith.

Serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Rural Health Medical Program Incorporated, Mrs. Dozier-Smith has tremendously transformed and set this organization on the right path to effectively and efficiently operate beyond another 40 years. RHMPI has been a pillar of primary and preventative health care system across five (5) Black Belt Counties in the state of Alabama offering quality, cost effective, and easily accessible primary medical and specialty services to each community member regardless of their ability to pay with and without insurance.

It is our goal to continuously improve the number of patients served each year through increasing patient awareness and education through marketing and branding campaigns, strategic community engagement and partnerships, and by meeting each existing and future patient(s) where they are in their healthcare journey’s.

Over the past forty years we have cared for the needs of the families in our community, including members of our Board of Directors and members of our valued staff. We are grateful to have the opportunity to provide our services across our service area counties: (Dallas, Marengo, Monroe, Perry, and Wilcox) communities and we look forward to continuing this journey by becoming the, Provider of Choice.
