National Rural Health Day – November 19, 2026
The third Thursday in November has been set aside to highlight rural communities as wonderful places to live and work, increase awareness of rural health-related issues, and promote the efforts of State Offices of Rural Health and the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) in addressing these issues.
Who Makes a Difference in Your Community?
In honor of National Rural Health Day, CRH 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, we will share these stories on the Center for Rural Health Facebook page.
Please send all materials to Jessica Rosencrans, communication specialist, at jessica.l.rosencrans@und.edu.
