By GlobalData“The NRHA’s reputation as a high-integrity, dedicated organisation is unmatched; they have consistently demonstrated their commitment to advancing rural healthcare through their tireless advocacy, research and educational initiatives.”
The NRHA is a national non-profit organisation that addresses rural health issues through leadership, advocacy, education and research.
NRHA services corporation executive director Larry Bedell said: “We are excited to expand our relationship with Equum, which has so much experience with the challenges faced in rural healthcare.
“For many of our members, decisions are being made on expensive digital tools and telehealth services that should improve productivity and, most importantly, help reduce the impact of workforce shortages, but these organisations need help in sifting through the available options.
“We have seen that Equum has the depth and breadth of rural health expertise to aid in providing that assistance.”
