Rooted in Experience. Built for Rural Health. For more than four decades, Health Services Associates has partnered with RHCs to strengthen operations, navigate change, and support the communities they serve. Working with over 160 RHCs (and counting!), we deliver trusted expertise that is built on real rural health work—not theory, and shaped by long-standing relationships with clinics and state partners nationwide. From cost reporting, rate setting, credentialing, to policy compliance, emergency preparedness, and everything in between, we handle the full scope of RHC operations so that you can focus on your passion—superior patient care. In 2026, our expertise comes together in Glacier™, HSA's complimentary, exclusive web-based platform specifically curated for our clients. Glacier™ is the only all-in-one RHC dashboard that simplifies compliance and operations, tracks due dates, securely stores essential documents, provides access to key clinic information effortlessly, and so much more. We’re not just experts in rural health—we’re rooted in it. We show up ready to help make every day a good day!
