This week, we will celebrate National Rural Health Day on November 21. This observance has been in place for the past 14 years and allows us to recognize the “power of rural.” We honor the commitment of our rural healthcare providers, communities, organizations. We recognize all those involved in addressing the unique healthcare needs of rural America.
The Virginia State Office of Rural Health plays a crucial role in partnering with rural communities. Our office identifies long-term solutions to ensure the health and prosperity of all Virginians.
We fulfill this mission by
-
providing technical assistance
-
offering regulatory updates
-
providing resources
-
fostering collaboration within communities throughout the Commonwealth
We appreciate Governor Youngkin for recognizing November 21 as Rural Health Day.
