THMA and TruBridge Launch the Rural Health Collaborative

At a moment when rural and community hospitals face unprecedented financial and operational pressure, THMA and TruBridge have launched the Rural Health Collaborative to help leaders strengthen sustainability, modernize operations, and protect access to care in the communities they serve.

Aligned with the goals of the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), the collaborative will convene rural health executives, policymakers, and select industry partners to share best practices, accelerate modernization efforts, and exchange peer-tested strategies for financial resilience and high-quality care delivery.

The first convening will take place at the TruBridge National Client Conference (April 7–10, 2026, Dallas, TX), followed by a Fall 2026 Forum in Washington, D.C., where participants will assess progress and continue advancing solutions that support long-term sustainability in rural healthcare.
