Exploring the Power of Collaboration: Pathways to Transformative Rural Health Partnerships
Moderated Panel Discussion | Monday, June 22, 2026 | 2:00 PM ET
Learn from experienced leaders working together to make healthcare happen in and for their communities.
Rural Hospital and Health Center Leaders Share How They’ve Become Stronger Working Together
Join us for a conversation with leaders from rural hospital and health centers in three states, to learn how they have been collaborating overtime and how their partnerships have prepared them for challenges and opportunities.
Their Stories Can Help You Find a Solution
Across rural America, an outstanding model of healthcare is happening — not because it is mandated, but because bold leaders decided to strategically tackle challenges together. The results of their collective collaborations offer insights into how they successfully partner and the impact they are making together.
Join NACHC, with Moderator, Michelle Rathman, for an exclusive panel conversation featuring experienced rural hospital and community health center leaders who forged transformative partnerships and are rewriting what is possible for rural health when powered by collaboration

Why this event, why now? Rural health delivery is experiencing new challenges while also presented with new opportunities that prescribe collaborative models to improve systems and outcomes.
In 2025, NACHC set out to find examples of collaboration between health centers and hospitals serving rural communities.
The stories turned into case studies and action briefs shared by leaders from three states detail how they have been making transformation happen and how their efforts have prepared them for the present and what is yet to come.
In the White Mountains of New Hampshire. In rural North Dakota. In the Pocono region of Pennsylvania. Health center and hospital leaders lead not by competing but through collaborating — building residency programs, launching nonprofits to address non-medical needs, sharing medical and key departmental staff, and transforming what "rural healthcare" means for their teams, patients, and greater communities.
