Helping foster healthy rural communities.

Our Mission

The Bassett Research Institute conducts research to understand and improve the health and well-being of individuals and rural populations. We develop strategies to improve health care delivery, prevent illness, and manage chronic disease in support of the Bassett Healthcare Network’s mission.

Bassett’s Research Celebration Week A Huge Success!

Bassett Research Institute’s Research Celebration Week was held from April 18 – April 21. The week-long exhibit was held in the Bassett Medical Center’s Clinic lobby and provided an opportunity to inform and update caregivers, patients, and the public on the varied projects, ongoing studies, and research accomplishments at Bassett.
