About the Mississippi Rural Hospital Alliance The Mission of the RHA is to assist member hospitals in being successful healthcare providers in their unique rural setting by helping them to achieve collectively what they could not achieve individually, in the areas of: 1. Sharing ideas that can contribute to more effective management of member hospitals; 2. Using the purchasing power of a network for the benefit of member hospitals; 3. Providing a venue through which member hospitals can band together to promote their common goals and agenda. 4. Work together with one united voice to promote advocacy with both federal and state legislation to maintain and improve rural healthcare.
