Last week’s RHAU conference in St. George drew its largest crowd yet, bringing people together to talk about the future of rural health care in Utah.
The big topic: The Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) was at the center of multiple breakout sessions, a panel with the Utah Department of Health and Human Services and UHA’s Matt McCullough, and much of the legislative panel discussion.
Why it matters: Attendees also shared creative ways to connect rural residents with providers. The conversations reflected an important reality: what works for one person or community may not work for another.
Also on day one: An ACHE event brought together health care executives, and an awards ceremony closed the day by recognizing contributions to rural health.
The bottom line: Stronger rural health care starts with listening to communities and finding approaches that fit their needs.
