Since 2011, the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) has set aside the third Thursday of November to celebrate the “Power of Rural” on National Rural Health Day. This year, National Rural Health Day takes place on November 21.
Since rural areas are unique, creativity is a must when it comes to healthcare and addressing social determinant of health (SDOH) needs, such as mobile health units and community health fairs where resource information is taken directly to where the residents live or congregate in large numbers.
