The 2008 Annual Rural Health Conference was a great success and we invite all of you to attend again.
With over 200 individuals representing over 150 organizations the Conference served as an excellent networking and informational two day meeting. It was an opportunity for California’s rural leaders to come together and explore opportunities for improving health in rural communities.
