Each year NRHA honors outstanding individuals and organizations in the field of rural health who have dedicated their time and talents to improving the health and well being of others. Previous recipients have stretched the boundaries of possibility by forging innovative programs and services, making rural life healthier and more compassionate.
Nominations are now open.
Consider nominating your favorite rural health professionals so that they may be honored nationally for their contributions to rural health. The entry deadline is Feb. 11. Selections will be made solely on the basis of a 300-500 word narrative, which is part of the nomination form. If more than three nominations are submitted for a candidate or organization, only the first three will be considered. To ensure an equitable process no letters of recommendation will be accepted. The 2014 Awards Luncheon will be at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas on April 24 at NRHA's 37th Annual Rural Health Conference.
NRHA will only accept online submissions. Please click here to submit a nomination. If you have questions about the Rural Health Awards, contact Donna Douglas at douglas@NRHArural.org or 816-756-3140.
