TruBridge Rural Health Collaborative: Strengthening Rural Healthcare

Rural Health Collaborative

Partnership initiative designed to support, modernize, and strengthen rural and community hospitals

TruBridge has partnered with The Health Management Academy (THMA), a leading executive membership and peer-learning organization, to launch the Rural Health Collaborative. Through this collaboration, TruBridge and THMA will unite rural health leaders, policymakers, and industry partners to share best practices and drive modernization efforts under the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), creating access to timely insights, innovative technology, and peer-driven dialogue to strengthen sustainability, financial resilience, and quality of care in rural and community hospitals. 

Rural Health Collaborative Launch at TruBridge National Client Conference

The inaugural Rural Health Collaborative will convene as part of the annual multi-day TruBridge National Client Conference, April 7–10, 2026, in Dallas, Texas, bringing together rural and community health leaders to share insights and engage with policymakers.

This one-day program, on April 9, led by THMA, offers focused learning, peer collaboration, and expert guidance on funding structures, eligibility, and strategic approaches to advance rural health transformation and strengthen long-term sustainability.
