"Rural hospital leaders desperately need practical tools that they can use to address the daily challenges they face to run their hospital," said Stroudwater Associates Managing Director Jeff Sommer, MPP. "Our conference will arm them with the strategies they need to diagnose issues and improve operations, financial readiness, and ensure long-term sustainability for their hospital in a volatile environment."

Representatives from over 197 CAHs, about 14.5% of CAHs nationwide, participated in last year's virtual conference, where they listened to and learned from the experiences of hospitals and healthcare leaders across the country. Rural hospital and department leaders benefited from understanding how their peers addressed the daily challenges of operating a rural hospital and could apply those lessons in their own communities.

"The success of rural hospitals directly impacts the communities they serve, yet our industry remains heavily underrepresented. Our conference serves as an opportunity for leaders to collaborate, educate, and initiate positive change in the rural communities they represent," said Stroudwater Associates' Chairman, Eric Shell, MBA.
