KRHA KENTUCKY RURAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE November 8 & 9, 2021 Virtual Conference
Message from the Executive Director
I am honored to serve as the Executive Director of the Kentucky Rural Health Association, and it is my
privilege to welcome each of you to our conference this year. Due the current circumstances related to
COVID, our board of directors, again decided in the best interest of you as members, and attendees, at this
year’s conference, to host it virtually.
Our conference committee has been working to provide you with the best content related to the health issues of rural
Kentuckians, and the providers that serve them. Our goal as an association is to ‘Improve the health of Rural
Kentuckians.’ To say that 2021 is less of a challenge then 2020 is an understatement. It seems this year is as much, or
more stress to the communities we serve-just due to the uncertainties we face each day. Thank you to all our
committees. They work diligently to provide the best possible experience for each of you our members. I would like to
ask you to consider being part of a committee. It takes a team of dedicated volunteers to sustain an association such as
ours.
Accomplishments for this year include:
• Legislative Day-Virtually.
• Policy Manual Revision (In process).
• Social Media Campaign to Highlight Members (In process).
• KHAMP (Kentucky Hepatitis Academic Mentorship Program) had another successful year, we have to date
trained over 320 providers to test and treat for Hepatitis C.
• US-HAMP (United States Hepatitis Academic Mentorship Program) we have been able to replicate our
“foundational model (KHAMP)” to other states. We hosted a summit to educate other states with high rates
of Hepatitis C, as well as onboarding states.
Thank you to each of you for attending, and I hope to see you become more involved. We always need individuals
dedicated to the issues facing Rural Kentuckians.
