30 Years of Advocating for and with Rural Tennesseans

Rural Health Association of Tennessee has been leading the way for a healthy Tennessee since 1994.

Our members include rural hospitals, clinics, 
mental and behavioral health providers, school health professionals, and many others who are committed to advancing access to quality, culturally sensitive care and services in rural communities. We believe in the power of listening and learning through direct service, advancing professional knowledge and development, and elevating the voices of rural Tennesseans through publications, events, and strategic partnerships.

To participate in-depth partnerships, advocacy, education, and resource sharing with other rural health leaders working in and with all 95 of Tennessee's counties, become a RHA member today.
