Registration Is Open: Join the First Workforce+ Cohort

Building and sustaining a strong rural healthcare workforce requires more than filling open positions—it takes a strategic approach to recruitment, retention, and employee engagement. Workforce+, a new professional certification program from NOSORH and Wintergreen, is designed to help rural healthcare professionals build those skills and create lasting workforce solutions.

Through expert-led instruction, live virtual sessions, and a comprehensive curriculum covering the entire employee lifecycle—from recruitment and retention to succession planning—participants will gain practical, rural-focused strategies they can immediately apply within their organizations.

Workforce+ is designed for HR, workforce, administrative, and operational professionals at every career stage. Whether you work for a rural healthcare provider, public health organization, or another organization that supports rural health, Workforce+ provides the tools and knowledge to strengthen your organization's workforce while earning a professional certification.

The inaugural cohort begins on October 8, 2026. Learn more about the curriculum and register today through NOSORH’s learning platform, Rural Health University!
