This year’s conference, “Action Alliances: Engaging Stakeholders in Workforce and Advocacy Initiatives,” brought together rural health leaders, providers, students, and partners from across Texas for two days of collaboration, learning, and inspiration.

From powerful discussions on workforce development and advocacy strategies to student-led panels and state agency presentations, participants explored actionable solutions to strengthen rural healthcare access, education, and sustainability across Texas.

We extend our sincere thanks to SHSU-COM for hosting this year’s conference, and to our attendees, vendors, and presenters whose expertise and passion made this event a success.

Together, we’re advancing The Power of Partnership: Rural Voices, Shared Vision — connecting communities, elevating rural healthcare, and building a stronger future for rural Texas.
