Who Makes a Difference in Your Community?

Oct 14, 2026

In honor of National Rural Health Day, held each year on the third Thursday of November, the Center for Rural Health (CRH), within the University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences, invites you to share who makes a difference in your community.

To celebrate the amazing people and organizations in rural North Dakota, CRH is asking you to send us photos/videos of those who are making a difference in your community, along with a short description of the impact they have made in rural North Dakota. On November 19, 2026, as part of our National Rural Health Day campaign, we will share these amazing stories on the Center for Rural Health Facebook page.

Please send all materials to Jessica Rosencrans, communication specialist, at jessica.l.rosencrans@und.edu.

About National Rural Health Day

National Rural Health Day is an opportunity to celebrate the power of rural by honoring the selfless, community-minded spirit that prevails in rural America. This day not only showcases the efforts and innovations of rural healthcare but also ensures that rural healthcare providers know how valued they are to their communities, their state, and the country.
