Common Voice 

• Through participation in the Community of Practice (CoP) Network, CAHs will have a common and formalized voice to advance rural health as well as the mutual interests of CAHs 

Knowledge Sharing

• The Network serves as a platform for sharing best-practices among hospitals; there is value to learning about what worked or did not work in other hospitals 

Collaboration

• The Network allows for CAH leaders to collaborate on issues of mutual interest

Capacity Building and Growth

• Network participants can improve their internal capacities and set themselves for positive growth through the knowledge gained from Network participation, and the opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing
