California State Rural Health Association Presents
Join us in Folsom on September 20 and 21 from 8 am to 1 pm for insights and networking with California’s top rural health leaders.
The CSRHA Annual Conference brings together healthcare leaders from rural clinics, hospitals, and rural health partners for a candid discussion about what rural health communities are doing to remain resilient and thrive in this challenging environment. Attendees will leave inspired and empowered to effect change.
The California State Rural Health Association’s (CSRHA) core mission is to improve the quality and length of life of rural Californians through advocacy, collaboration, and education.
About This Event
For the past 25 years, CRSHA has hosted an Annual Conference to provide an environment for networking and dissemination of pertinent information among professionals and community members from California’s rural communities.
Each year, a statewide planning committee selects the theme and topics for the conference. The conference engages statewide participants and presenters who share an interest in rural health issues, building and strengthening partnerships and discussing projects/programs in a variety of general sessions and exhibits. Exhibitors, along with the presenters and participants, play an important role in this event. They demonstrate how their services or products can enhance an organization’s viability allowing them to make connections with rural populations.
