National Rural Health Association

Plan now to attend NRHA’s 9th annual Rural Quality and Clinical Conference July 17-19 in Chicago. Sessions will cover current innovations in rural hospital quality, proven telemedicine collaborations and implementations, how to utilize existing data to secure grants and improve community outcomes, ICD10, a personal story of how one family became national infection prevention advocates and federal updates relevant to you.

Cuts to critical access hospitals have again been proposed, and hundreds of millions of dollars to rural PPS hospitals will be lost if Congress does not act by Oct. 1. If these threats become a reality, rural hospitals will be forced to cut services and close doors. Join NRHA July 31 in Washington D.C. for a free education and advocacy event.

NRHA invites you to submit presentations for two of our fastest growing events. Submissions for this year's Rural Multiracial and Multicultural Health Conference submissions will be accepted through July 15. Submissions for the 2014 Annual Rural Health Conference will also be accepted through July 15. 

A series of Preserving Community Hospital events will bring together industry experts to provide hospital and community leaders with the foundation, framework and options to make informed decisions in uncertain times. Register early to save on events Aug. 20-21 in Seattle and Aug. 27-28 in Milwaukee.
