We hope that you enjoyed a nice, relaxing long weekend! With
National Rural Health Day now just 37 days away, we
used the time to recharge our engines and set our sights on making this year’s
celebration the best ever!
For example, we continue to put the final logistical touches on
this year’s slate of National Rural Health Day webinars,
including our popular “Rural Health 101” featuring a panel of five current/past
NOSORH board members. Another webinar will address population-based
health and health promotion in rural communities, while another being
considered will explore the impact of the Affordable Care Act in rural
America. We will also be hosting at least two webinars featuring several
of our National Rural Health Day webinars, as well as live and
recorded feeds of our National Rural Health Day Press
Conference/Celebration at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. – at
which several U.S. Cabinet and senior administration officials tentatively
slated to appear (we’ll share their names closer to the date).
We’ve also added a few more Community
Success Stories to the National Rural Health Day website!
We’d love to share your stories as well – our goal is to have at least one
story from every state – so please send your stories along if you haven’t
already done so! Need some suggestions? Then check out the Community Success Story “Tip Sheet” we’ve posted in the
Resources
section of the website for some ideas. And speaking of resources, we’ve
added two more “letter to legislator” templates to our Resources
section – one designed specifically for EMS providers and another designed for
Rural Health Clinics. Please Contact
Us if there are additional resources we might be able to provide to
help you spread the word and “Celebrate the Power of Rural.”
Thanks for everything you do to address the healthcare needs of
America’s 59.5 million citizens – we are proud to partner with you in this
effort! As always, please feel free to Contact
Us or email me directly if you have any questions and/or if
we can be of further assistance.
