When education and healthcare providers in rural communities form collaborative partnerships, they expand their power to bring innovative solutions to the unique challenges that they face. In rural areas, travel distances make education and health services less accessible. Educational resources are limited and teacher shortages are more prevalent. Mental and behavioral health services are scarcer or altogether unavailable.

This event brings hospital CEOs, board members, superintendents and community leaders together to share stories of their collective impact. You will learn practices that have been successful in communities across Rural America and hear about the people that have been vital along the way.
