Our Priorities

The West Virginia Rural Health Association focuses on three areas: Organizational Development and Communications; Education, Advocacy, and Policy; and Resource Development. We’re here to raise awareness of rural health issues, invest in policies that make positive changes in our communities, and build a strong, encouraging organization.

2026 Rural Health Day

February 16th, 2026, from 8:00am – 1:00pm 

We’re excited to share that all vendor spots for Rural Health Day are officially sold out.

This strong response reflects the commitment and collaboration of organizations across West Virginia who are working every day to support rural health and the communities we serve. We are grateful to all of our vendors and partners who will be joining us at the State Capitol.

Even if you’re not exhibiting, we encourage everyone to come out and support Rural Health Day. Your presence helps elevate rural health priorities, strengthen partnerships, and show unified support for access to care in rural communities.
