Critical Access Hospital Conference

Join us in Kansas City for NRHA’s Rural Health Clinic and Critical Access Hospital Conferences. They’re NRHA’s fastest-growing events for a reason.

Take advantage of the educational and networking opportunities designed for clinic and hospital professionals and board members serving rural America.

NRHA is now accepting abstracts for presentation at its 2018 Critical Access Hospital Conference through May 21. All submissions must be made online and late submissions will not be accepted. Submissions must include all speaker contact information. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance status by email in mid July. All speakers selected must register for the conference in which they speak.
