November 17 is the first annual National Rural Health Day, a day to “Celebrate the Power of Rural”. Nearly 62 million Americans, and 20% of Coloradans, live in rural and frontier communities. Rural communities possess a selfless, community-minded, "can do" spirit that has helped our country thrive; they also have unique healthcare needs that should not be overlooked and need to be addressed. How you choose to celebrate National Rural Health Day is entirely up to you, we just ask that you celebrate! CRHC has created a toolkit of resources, information, and ideas for you to use. For more information or to share how your community is celebrating National Rural Health Day, contact Cari Fouts.
