32nd Annual West Virginia Rural Health Conference
West Virginia Rural Health Association
Resort at Glade Springs, Daniels, WV— August 27, 2024 — Our conference theme this year is “Innovative Change Starts in the Mountains”, and we are excited to invite you join us in learning best practices for rural health from our colleagues within the state and around the nation. We seek to showcase the talents of people who work tirelessly to make a positive difference in our state. We hope that you will engage in dialogue to inspire and excite you for the year ahead.
“Our goal is that you emerge from this conference re-energized for the work of improving rural health access, bridging the divide caused by inequity, and providing excellent care in our rural and underserved communities.” – Rich Sutphin | WVRHA Executive Director
It is our hope that our conference attendees take advantage of the many opportunities to not only learn from one another, but to make connections that will follow them throughout their careers so that we can fight together to make a difference for the great folks of West Virginia.
Positive Impact
This conference represents a lot of hard work by many folks who are deeply committed to rural health. Without our conference planning committee, led by Courtney Hereford and Terry Wooten, none of this would be possible. The staff and Board of Directors of the WV Rural Health Association are grateful to this dedicated group of individuals who spend their time throughout the year working to make this conference a success. When you see our committee members throughout the conference, we hope you will share your gratitude as well. In addition, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to the support of our sponsors and exhibitors. Without them, this conference would not be possible year after year.
