The National Rural Health Association (NRHA) is offering a 12-month program focusing on capacity building. Participants work with a rural health development coach who serves as a guide, thought partner, and connector to help strengthen internal processes and long-term organizational capacity.
The development coaches will provide customized support through regular virtual meetings, 2-3 site visits, and ongoing communication.
