CRPHI Honored with 2025 Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC) Achievement Award!

We are proud to share that the Collaborative Rural Public Health Infrastructure (CRPHI) has been recognized with a 2025 Achievement Award by the Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC)! The award was presented on December 9 during the AMC Annual Conference, celebrating CRPHI's innovative and impactful work in strengthening public health systems across rural Minnesota.

This prestigious award highlights CRPHI's commitment to building a sustainable and collaborative infrastructure that supports foundational public health services across 11 community health boards and 26 counties. Through shared leadership, regional partnerships, and a focus on equity and efficiency, CRPHI is transforming how rural communities access and benefit from public health resources.

CRPHI's model demonstrates the power of collaboration in addressing rural health challenges and building a resilient public health system for the future.

Receiving the AMC Achievement Award is a testament to the dedication of all participating counties, public health leaders, and staff who have worked tirelessly to make CRPHI a success. It also reinforces the importance of continued investment in regional approaches that prioritize community needs and long-term sustainability.

We extend our gratitude to AMC for this recognition and to all those who have contributed to CRPHI's journey. Together, we are shaping the future of public health in Minnesota, county by county!
