The Rural Health Excellence Award is given annually by Colorado Rural Health Center to honor those who have made a notable contribution to health, healthcare, or a healthcare delivery system in rural Colorado. For 2012, the award will be presented during the 21st Annual Colorado Rural Health Conference October 25-26, at the Antlers Hilton in Colorado Springs. The winner and their family will be invited to attend the conference as guests of CRHC. The person submitting the winning nomination can help plan the presentation and personally present the award if s/he wishes to participate.

To be eligible for the award, a candidate must have made a significant contribution to the health, healthcare, or a healthcare delivery system in a rural Colorado community, area, or region. Healthcare providers, board members, administrators, volunteers and others are eligible for nomination. Despite their enormous contributions, CRHC Board Members are not eligible for nomination while serving on the Board.
