Old wood, living wood
Invest in rural health
Today, a community's health still depends on its distance from a city. Your investment closes that distance.
The most credible way to invest in rural American health — with the story to match.
Since 2012, we have built health where the systems run thinnest, with the discipline of an institute and the trust of a neighbor. Your gift funds training for the people who hold the line, honest evaluation returned to communities, a national voice for the frontier — and, above all, new physicians.
Grow a Rural Doctor is our flagship fund: named and endowed support for residents in our HRSA rural health preventive medicine residency. Sponsors follow their resident's journey — match day to rural practice — and rural America gains a physician it would not otherwise have.

Invest where systems run thin
Infrastructure is personal.
A workforce shortage, a long drive, or a missing service is never just a systems problem to the person living it.
Your investment helps NPHI build the people, training, evidence, and local capacity that make care and public health more durable.
Corporate partnership
Your workforce lives here too
Health systems, payers, mining and energy companies, agricultural lenders, rural telecom, gaming and hospitality foundations — if your people live and work in rural Nevada and the rural West, our mission is your workforce's health. Partnership opportunities include presenting sponsorship of the rural health track, residency named funds, and Field Notes sponsorship.
