Our mission is to create sustainable access to quality care by positioning the Chippewa Valley and Wisconsin as the premier hub for testing and implementing new rural health solutions. Through collaboration with community members, healthcare providers, and corporate partners, we’re building a future where technology and innovation drive better outcomes for everyone.
The Sandbox for Rural Health Solutions
RHIA’s unique ‘sandbox’ ecosystem empowers clinicians, startups, and corporations to:
Rapidly test and iterate healthcare solutions in real-world rural settings.
Generate data to validate and scale innovations.
Collaborate with healthcare and educational institutions, like those within the UW-Eau Claire Science and Health Sciences Building.
From virtual care platforms to micro-hospitals and in-home monitoring solutions, our sandbox is the testing ground for the healthcare solutions of tomorrow.
