Rural Health Day

Rural Health Day 2025

National Rural Health Day

Since 2011, The National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health, the 50 State Offices of Rural Health, and rural health stakeholders from across the country have set aside the third Thursday of November to celebrate National Rural Health Day. This day promotes the “Power of Rural,” which brings much-needed attention to the ongoing efforts to communicate, educate, collaborate, and innovate to improve the health of an estimated 57 million rural Americans. Over the years, National Rural Health Day has transformed from a daylong event to a sustainable movement.

Governor Kehoe signed a proclamation for Rural Health Day, Nov. 20.
