Be a rural health rock star in the Lone Star state

Get your tickets today for NRHA's Rural Health Clinic Conference, Oct. 1-2, and Critical Access Hospital Conference, Oct. 2-4, in the live music capital of the world, Austin, Texas.

This year, you'll discover the best rural-relevant ways to:
  • implement health reform changes 
  • leverage rural economic development and charitable giving for sustainability 
  • navigate accountable care organizations 
  • manage ICD-10 implementation and code changes 
  • integrate telemedicine and achieve meaningful use 
  • transform to a patient-centered medical home model 
  • understand the regionalization of health services and role of population health on your community's future 
  • improve patient safety, the discharge process, remote monitoring and more from experts and colleagues from across the country. 

A recent HHS report indicates that 846 CAHs would lose certification and funding if forced to re-enroll in the CAH program. Hear from your national advocates from NRHA and AHA on the impact of this recommendation and what you can do to make sure it doesn't happen.

Check out the best spots to eat, people-watch and explore in and around Austin from local NRHA member Dave Pearson.

Register today for one of NRHA's fastest-growing events.
