STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich., Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Every year in the United States, the third Thursday of November is designated as National Rural Health Day (NRHD). What began as an annual, single day of recognition by the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) is now in its 10th year as a nationwide grassroots movement and ongoing conversation focused on rural health.

National Rural Health Day honors those who live, work, and serve 57 million rural Americans. With the release of the annual Community Stars publication on November 19, rural health professionals and organizations from a record-breaking 48 states are recognized for their outstanding contributions and dedication to service.

Together, they will discuss the roadmap they have created to help rural counties press reset and learn how to work together in new ways to create local systems of health, safety, education, and economic stability.

NRHD's momentum continues through the week, including the 2nd Annual Rural Health Clinical Congress, a special online, interactive CME event for those caring for rural and underserved populations. This half-day, no-cost event hosted by Rural Medical Education (RME) Collaborative will be broadcast live on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020, starting at 9:00 a.m. ET.
