Each year on the third Thursday of November, the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy joins its partner, the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH), to celebrate rural communities and bring to light the unique healthcare challenges they face.

Last year, NOSORH hosted a series of web sessions with valuable insights and data about the current state of rural health. View recorded NOSORH webinars and slides. Exit Disclaimer
