Nobles County Joins CRPHI: Strengthening Rural Public Health Across Southwest Minnesota

We're thrilled to announce that Nobles County Public Health has officially joined the Collaborative Rural Public Health Infrastructure (CRPHI) initiative! At the November CRPHI leadership meeting, Nobles County was unanimously approved as the newest member, becoming the 26th county to be part of this transformative public health collaboration.

With this exciting addition, CRPHI now supports foundational public health work across 11 community health boards, representing a total of 26 counties. This expansion marks a significant milestone in our shared mission to build a stronger, more resilient public health system in rural Minnesota.

"We are very excited to join CRPHI and be part of the work to transform Public Health in rural Minnesota!"
— Stacie Golombiecki, Nobles County Public Health

CRPHI continues to grow as a model of regional collaboration, innovation, and shared resources. By bringing together counties with common goals and challenges, we're able to amplify our impact, streamline efforts, and ensure that every community, no matter how rural, has access to strong public health infrastructure.

We warmly welcome Nobles County to the CRPHI and look forward to the meaningful contributions they will bring to our collective work.

Together, we are transforming public health, county by county!
