National Rural Health Day

Driving Change | Going the Extra Mile

We set aside the third Thursday of every November to celebrate National Rural Health Day (NRHD). This year’s theme is Driving Change | Going the Extra Mile.

NRHD is an opportunity to “Celebrate the Power of Rural” by honoring the selfless, community-minded, and determined spirit that prevails in rural America. NRHD showcases the efforts of rural healthcare providers, organizations and cooperatives, State Offices of Rural Health, and stakeholders from various industry sectors dedicated to addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and the unique healthcare challenges that rural citizens face today and into the future.

#POWEROFRURAL

Rural communities are wonderful places to live and work, which is why nearly 61 million people – call them home.
These small towns, farming communities, and frontier areas are places where neighbors know each other, listen to each other, respect each other, and work together to benefit the greater good.
They are also some of the best places to start a business and test your “entrepreneurial spirit.” These communities are an economic engine that provides the rest of the country with a wealth of services and commodities.
