On National Rural Health Day, THI recognizes the unique challenges faced by rural communities. Our mission to advance the health of all includes addressing the barriers faced by rural families.

As co-convener of the Rural Texas Maternal Health Rescue Plan, we outlined strategies to improve access to maternal care in rural regions by strengthening health care infrastructure. These efforts aim to improve rural maternal health and ensure that every mother and child, regardless of geography, can access the care they need to thrive. The Texas Rural Maternal Health Assembly recently convened again to continue aligning partners and strategies that strengthen maternal health across rural Texas.

THI is proud to collaborate with E3 Alliance and St. David's Foundation to expand healthcare career pathways across our region.

Together, we will build a more skilled and resilient healthcare workforce, especially for underrepresented communities. With over 30 partners united in this effort, our goal is to enroll 1,200+ students annually in certification and credentialing programs, addressing critical gaps in roles like surgical techs, radiology techs, paramedics, and community health workers.

THI is honored to be part of this initiative and looks forward to the meaningful impact this opportunity will have on advancing health across Texas.

THI’s Kara Hill, MHA, BSSW, facilitated a roundtable discussion, “Creating Harmony: Reducing Documentation & Data Entry Burden for Clinicians,” at the 2025 TPCC Summit.

The session explored how documentation requirements, inconsistent coding rules, and limited data exchange contribute to clinician burden, pulling attention away from meaningful patient interactions and affecting both clinician well-being and patient satisfaction. Hill shared practical strategies to reduce administrative burden and restore time for what matters most in care delivery.
