Make Your Nominations for the Oregon Rural Health Excellence Award

Oregon’s rural health and community-based organizations often demonstrate exceptional resourcefulness, teamwork and creativity when addressing improvement in health care and health outcomes.  

To recognize rural hospitals, clinics, local public health departments, EMS agencies and CBOs that demonstrate remarkable dedication to health outcomes in their communities, we invite eligible facilities to apply for the Oregon Rural Health Excellence Award. ORH will award up to five organizations, one in each category (hospital, rural health clinic, local public health and CBO). Nominations are due by Aug. 31, 2025. 

  Winners of the award will be celebrated at the 2025 Oregon Rural Health Conference, to be held Oct. 1-3 in Bend, Oregon.  

  Awardees will receive a registration scholarship to attend the conference.
