A full house at Deerwoode Reserve

Thank you to everyone who filled the room on October 1. A few moments from the day, and the full recap.

The 2026 WNC Regional Rural Health Convening filled Deerwoode Reserve on October 1. People who rarely sit at the same table compared notes, walked the system together on the Field Simulator, and left with next steps on the Connection to Action wall.
