National Rural Health Day 2025

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 (NRHD). This day is an opportunity to bring attention to and honor the incredible efforts of rural healthcare providers, communities, organizations, State Offices of Rural Health, and other stakeholders dedicated to addressing the unique healthcare needs that rural citizens face today and into the future. NOSORH provides resources, events, ideas for celebrating, and much more for NRHD. Join the movement and help move the Power of Rural forward!

We celebrate National Rural Health Day on Thursday, November 20, 2025. This year’s theme is Moving the Power of Rural Forward. We show how federal agencies, providers and state and community leaders work to improve rural communities.
