About the conference

This year's conference theme is: Working Together, Building Our Future.

The conference seeks to support, connect and inspire rural health professionals and leaders from across the state as they work toward the goal of building healthy communities.

The two-day conference, one of the nation’s largest state rural health conferences and Minnesota’s premier event for rural health professionals, typically attracts a diverse mix of attendees: hospital and clinic administrators, clinicians, representatives from health plans and accountable care organizations, state health employees, educators and researchers, health professions students, elected and appointed officials, community members and others.

The conference schedule includes keynote addresses, plenary panel discussions, breakout sessions, the Minnesota Rural Health Association Policy Forum, an awards ceremony, and designated networking opportunities (breaks and a reception).

The Minnesota Department of Health's Office of Rural Health and Primary Care, the Minnesota Rural Health Association and the National Rural Health Resource Center host the annual Minnesota Rural Health Conference.
