Our 2025 theme, “Together We Are Extraordinary” will showcase how WHA members tackle obstacles in their rural communities to build health systems crucial to their survival.
Rural America is like a jungle, full of danger at every turn on the path to survival. Guided by member committees, WHA members have the combined power to tackle obstacles and have become experts at navigating the path to success.
Since 1989, members have come together from across Colorado, and now Utah and Michigan, to compete with larger systems for survival. The camaraderie amongst WHA members is truly inspiring and a testament to the strength that our rural communities embody.
