Critical Access Hospital Conference

They're the association'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.

Be sure to register for both events to save $100 on your total registration cost. NRHA members save $100 more on each event, while those who have never been an NRHA member will receive a complimentary one-year NRHA membership.
