2023 Oklahoma Rural Health Conference
Welcome!
The conference brings together members of the Rural Health Association of Oklahoma (RHAO) and the Telehealth Alliance of Oklahoma (TAO), and stakeholders of the Oklahoma Office of Rural Health (OORH). It is expected to attract more than 230 healthcare professionals from rural and underserved areas of the state. A variety of sponsorship levels are available.
Regular conference activities begin on the morning of November 2nd and conclude on the afternoon of November 3rd. This year the conference will be held at the Edmond Conference Center, which includes the Hilton Garden Inn in a new and growing area of Edmond.
New this year is the Awards Reception, to be held the evening of November 1st, following exhibitor set-up. This event will be semi-formal and will honor awards recipients from all three organizations and the Public Health Association of Oklahoma, and is free and open to all exhibitors and attendees.
The RHAO will host the third annual cornhole tournament just outside of the conference meeting activities on the evening of November 2nd. This tournament is very popular and provides an opportunity to participate or cheer on your favorite team and the tournament serves as an amazing networking event.
Join us as we recognize the best and brightest serving the health care needs of rural Oklahoma and learn from experts in the field.
