CRPHI Welcomes New Member: Blue Earth County!

We're excited to share some great news: Blue Earth County is now part of the Collaborative Rural Public Health Infrastructure (CRPHI) initiative! During the February leadership meeting, members unanimously approved Blue Earth County's participation, officially bringing the total to 27 counties working together through this collaborative effort.

With this addition, CRPHI now partners with 12 community health boards across rural Minnesota, supporting and strengthening foundational public health services throughout the region. This growth represents an important step forward in our ongoing work to enhance capacity, improve coordination, and build a more resilient public health system for rural communities.

CRPHI continues to demonstrate what's possible when counties come together around shared priorities. Through regional collaboration, innovation, and the smart use of shared resources, we're able to strengthen local public health infrastructure and make a broader impact than any county could achieve alone.

We're grateful to welcome Blue Earth County into CRPHI and look forward to the expertise, energy, and perspective they bring to this collective effort.

Together, we're strengthening rural public health, one county at a time.
