2009 Texas Critical Access Hospital Conference

TORCH and The TORCH Foundation are pleased to host the 2009 Texas Critical Access Hospital Conference. Texas ranks among the top five states in the country with the most certified CAHs. These hospitals are a vital part of Texas rural safety net providers.

This is a unique time for rural healthcare, with several opportunities for significant change in the way healthcare is delivered. Federal push, particularly through the economic stimulus plan, for the adoption of certified electronic health records has generated much excitement (and uncertainty) for what this will mean for rural hospitals.

This education conference will provide you valuable information on key issues, topics, resources and strategies for Critical Access Hospitals. We encourage you to be an active participant in this exciting learning event. and to take this opportunity to interact with your peers and the presenters.

Priority registration ends June 17, 2009, so please hurry and register!
