NRHA Annual Rural Health Conference
May 19-21  •  San Diego, California

NORC’s  Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis team is excited to join the rural health community in San Diego at the National Rural Health Association’s (NRHA) Annual Conference.

For three decades, NORC’s Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis has worked alongside rural communities to strengthen local health systems, adapt care delivery, and advance solutions grounded in lived experience. Our work builds on community strengths and assets while addressing the structural barriers that shape access, quality, and outcomes across rural America.

About the Walsh Center


The Walsh Center brings together more than 50 researchers, policy analysts, and subject matter experts with deep roots in rural health, and partners with federal and state leaders, foundations, and communities to advance rural health.  

We support and accelerate the work already underway in rural communities through policy analysis, applied research, evaluation, and technical assistance.

We leverage our experience with CMS Innovation Center models, state-led transformation efforts, and multi-state evaluations to support states and communities across the full transformation lifecycle—from identifying priorities to implementing and sustaining change.

We translate vision into action, anchored in place, partnership, and what matters most to rural communities.
