Save the Date for the  

2016 International Rural Health and Rural Nursing Research Conference 

Pamela Stewart Fahs, PhD, RN, Editor 

July 19 – 21, 2016, do you know where you will be? I will be in Rapid City, South Dakota 

at the International Rural Health and Rural Nursing Research Conference and hope to see you 

there! Co-hosting this exciting conference will be South Dakota State University, University of 

South Dakota, the Rural Nurse Organization, Matson Halverson Christiansen Hamilton 

Foundation (MHCH), and the Helmsley Charitable Trust. The conference will be held at the 

Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in downtown Rapid City. This conference will give you the latest 

information on what is happening in rural health care and nursing.  

The world of rural nursing and health care is broad, yet like a rural community it is small 

enough that there is a good deal of familiarity. Judging from past rural conferences there will be 

friends old and new attending. This is a conference for practitioners, educators, and researchers. 

So if you work to ensure the health of rural populations, this is a conference you will not want to 

miss. Details are still being finalized by the committee and we will soon have information 

regarding Abstract due dates etc. I am sure this is a conference that will not only be informative 

but also fun, and one that the RNO is proud to support. Please watch the RNO.org website for 

more details as they emerge.
