Healthy Rural California

HRC’s MedEd Club students from Four Winds Indian Education, Chico State, and Elk Creek had an incredible opportunity to visit Touro University on April 29th for a full day of campus exploration, in person learning and college preparation experiences.

Students toured campus, explored the radiology and pharmacy labs, connected with faculty over lunch, and participated in academic, college prep, and financial aid sessions designed to help them envision their future in healthcare and higher education.

One of the most special parts of the day was arriving to customized Touro ID badges made just for our students!

We are so grateful to Touro University for their generosity, hospitality, and commitment to supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals. We had a spectacular time!

We are incredibly honored to be featured in and on the COVER of Upgraded Living Magazine’s Women in Business issue, sharing the mission behind Healthy Rural California.

At HRC, we believe where you live should never determine the quality of healthcare you receive. Through our psychiatry and family medicine residency programs, MedEd Clubs, Healthcare Professions Pathways Program (HPPP), and partnerships throughout Northern California, we are creating pathways for students and physicians to train, grow, and stay in rural communities.

This feature highlights the people, partnerships, and programs working every day to strengthen healthcare access across the North State. From introducing K–12 students to careers in medicine to training future physicians locally, we are focused on building sustainable healthcare solutions that will impact generations to come. Thank you to everyone who continues to support this vision and help us build a healthier future together.
