Letter to the Editor: National Rural Health Day

The National Organizations of State Offices of Rural Health have designated Thursday November 20, 2025, as National Rural Health Day to bring attention to and honor the incredible efforts of rural healthcare providers, communities, organizations, State Offices of Rural Health, and other stakeholders dedicated to addressing the
unique healthcare needs of rural America.

To honor National Rural Health Day on November 19, 2025, the Rural Maryland Council will host a Health- Focused Bus Tour showcasing innovative approaches to improving health and wellness in rural communities.

Participants will visit Choptank Community Health System’s new Federalsburg Health Center, For All Seasons in Easton, and the University of Maryland’s new Easton Hospital building site. These site visits highlight the critical role that accessible, community-based health care and behavioral health services play in supporting rural Marylanders. This tour will offer valuable insight into successful collaborations, infrastructure investments, and innovative models advancing rural health across the state.
