Get Ready!

The 2026 New England Rural Health Association Conference on November 17th and 18th at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord, New Hampshire is where we’ll explore how innovation, collaboration, and community are shaping the future of rural health.

This year’s theme, “Weaving Transformation into the Rural Fabric”, celebrates the strength and interconnectedness of rural communities. Together, we’ll examine how diverse perspectives, partnerships, and ideas are woven together to create lasting change across New England.

Returning to New Hampshire for the first time in years, we’re excited to welcome 400+ rural health professionals to Concord, surrounded by scenic forests and trails; the perfect setting to reconnect, reflect, and reimagine the threads that bind our work.
