The West Virginia Rural Health Association is committed to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion among all individuals and communities. We recognize, respect, and value diversity in race, ethnicity, color, gender, age, religion, ability, origin, gender identity, and sexual orientation, as well as the full spectrum of unique characteristics and experiences. Our diversity enhances our strength and impact. The WVRHA will deliver on its mission with a diverse, inclusive, and culturally-informed membership that, in turn, is better prepared to serve all West Virginians.
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.
