Membership

The MRHA works for quality rural health care for Maryland’s rural communities and their residents, and depends on the support of individuals like you.  A stronger MRHA with a larger and active membership is the best way to ensure quality health care for rural Maryland. 

In order to be “green”, the MRHA has adopted the use of Pay Pal for membership fee payment. As a 501C3 and all volunteer--organization, using Pay Pal reduces the use of paper and expedites payment of membership fees. Pay Pal uses encrypted software and does not pose a danger to credit card use.  Please take the time to fill out the membership application and pay your membership fees using Pay Pal.

Becoming an MRHA member

Membership in MRHA includes individuals, organizations, honorary, student, and ex-officio members.  Membership is effective upon receipt of dues or upon recognition by the board and continues through the Association’s fiscal year.  Membership is renewable annually.
