2025 Emerging Rural Health Leader Award

Nominations are now open!

The Minnesota Emerging Rural Health Leader Award is given annually to an individual who has emerged as “leading the charge” to improve rural health on a local, regional, or statewide level.

Nomination criteria:

• The emphasis of the award is on recognizing a student or a health professional early in their career who has emerged as a leader in improving rural health on a local, regional, or statewide basis. This person is "leading the charge".
• The nominee must be:
• A student working toward a career in rural health who has already shown a personal commitment to, and a desire for, improving rural health here in Minnesota. Or,
• An individual, still early in their career, employed by an organization that serves the health needs of rural Minnesotans.

 The award will be announced on National Rural Health Day, November 20, 2025.
