OUR STORY
ARUKAH WAS ESTABLISHED TO IMPROVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES
FOR RURAL POPULATIONS
Arukah Institute of Healing, Inc. NFP was founded in 2017 by Dr. Sarah Scruggs, who recognized the shortage of accessible mental health care in local rural communities. Rural areas face disproportionately high rates of suicide, drug overdose deaths, and untreated persistent mental illness; yet the behavioral health workforce in these areas remains severely limited.
