Celebrating 15 Years of the Power of Rural

Since 2011, NOSORH has celebrated National Rural Health Day (NRHD) to recognize the healthcare providers, organizations, and communities making a difference across rural America.

As we mark 15 years, we're celebrating the people who strengthen rural communities, the progress we've made, and the opportunities ahead.
