Making a Difference in Rural Health

Improving patient care with technology and collaboration

With nearly one in five people in the U.S. living in rural areas, rural hospitals and clinics are a critical part of the healthcare landscape. Nordic works closely with rural health leaders to harness the power of technology to address their unique clinical, operational, and financial challenges.

Through collaboration, advocacy, innovative programs, and scalable solutions, we strive to support rural healthcare organizations in creating a sustainable future — improving patient care delivery and advancing outcomes for generations to come.

Rural healthcare organizations trust Nordic to provide:

• Deep healthcare IT expertise rooted in clinical experience, technical knowledge, and lessons learned
• Technology solutions tailored to fit the budgets and IT infrastructures of rural hospitals
• Comprehensive cybersecurity strategies that address vulnerabilities and rising threats amid limited resources
• Greater access to digital tools that accelerate patient-centered care

The Rural Health IT Community

Nordic and Microsoft, in collaboration with CHIME, established the Rural Health IT Community in 2024 to advocate for and be the recipients of policies, programs, and services specific to rural healthcare. We aim to foster collaboration between rural hospitals and global technology leaders and increase the use of innovative technologies that protect vulnerable rural healthcare organizations. The Rural Health IT Community gives rural health digital leaders a dedicated forum to connect, share solutions, and drive innovation in the communities they serve.
