National Rural Health Day is November 20th, 2025.
One in seven Americans live in rural areas, meaning they face greater challenges in accessing health care, and patients relying on us for care.
Rural hospitals face unique challenges in providing care to our communities. One way to tackle this issue head on is to share information about a mobile clinic and telehealth services.
Each year the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health and its partners set aside third Thursday of November to celebrate National Rural Health Day (NRHD). NRHD is an opportunity to “Celebrate the Power of Rural.”
NRHD helps educate about the challenges of rural healthcare and highlights the innovation and collaboration used by healthcare providers to improve the quality of care in their communities!
