Happy National Rural Health Day! This day focuses on the medical resources rural communities offer and how it impacts the small towns and citizens.
The third Thursday in November each year highlights the varied opportunities rural health offers and the benefits it brings to these modest hubs of economic vitality in the heartland.
Around the nation, over sixty million Americans live and work in rural communities. In these thriving centers of industry, health clinics and hospitals provide much-needed care to a varied population.
Healthcare improves not only the life of the citizens but the livelihood as well.
Increased economic opportunities are just one of the many reasons for maintaining healthcare close to small towns.
Emergent care and urgent care increases the timely treatment of critical ailments and injuries.
When nursing care is available, grandparents remain near their familiar settings. Primary care provides a remedy for chronic and routine conditions.
Other facilities that may be available in some small communities include dental, chiropractic and vision care.
Altogether, these facilities keep a community running smoothly and healthily. It’s something to celebrate!
HOW TO OBSERVE
Get involved. Celebrate National Rural Health Day by letting a local healthcare professional know you appreciate their care. Learn more ways to celebrate at the National Organization of State Offices of Rural.
