Maryland Rural Health Association (MRHA)

The Maryland Rural Health Association (MRHA) was formed in January 1995 as a result of Maryland’s first annual Rural Health Conference hosted by the Maryland State Office of Rural Health (SORH). The nucleus for the formation of the MRHA was a committee of rural health representatives interested in furthering rural health activities in the state and a core group of Conference attendees. The MRHA has been meeting ever since, serving as a primary advocate for quality rural healthcare in Maryland. Membership is comprised of health departments, hospitals, community health centers, health professionals, and community members in rural Maryland.
