National Rural Health Day
National Rural Health Day is Thursday, November 20, 2025. Throughout the week of Nov. 17-21, the AHA, along with the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health, the National Rural Health Association, and hospitals and health systems across the country, will honor rural hospitals and the important work they do for their patients and communities.
National Rural Health Day Social Media Messages
@ahahospitals continues to work with Congress to enact policies that support rural hospitals. We also are working to support a public policy environment that will protect access to care, advance innovation and invest new resources in rural communities. https://www.aha.org/rural-advocacy-agenda
Rural hospitals are fighting to maintain critical service lines, including behavioral health, despite recent shifts in funding. Get the facts about behavioral health in rural areas: https://www.aha.org/infographic-realities-behavioral-health-rural-communities
Rural hospitals and health systems provide vital care to their communities. See how the AHA is standing up for rural hospitals like ours with the 2025 AHA Rural Advocacy Agenda: https://www.aha.org/rural-advocacy-agenda
Did you know rural hospitals provide $220 billion in economic activity annually? Rural hospitals support 1 in 12 jobs in the U.S. — but many are in danger of closing. Learn more about the federal support necessary to keep hospitals open and their workers employed: https://www.aha.org/system/files/media/file /2023/02/infographic-rural-hospitals-community-cornerstones-facing-perilous-threats-to-care-infographic.pdf
Workforce recruitment and retention is a persistent challenge for rural hospitals; 70% of primary care health professional shortage areas are in rural parts of the U.S. At @ahahospitals, we encourage Congress to pass legislation that supports workforce development, like bills that increase the number of Medicare-funded residency slots to expand training opportunities in rural settings. https://www.aha.org/rural-advocacy-agenda
Share the National Rural Health Day Toolkit
We encourage all our rural members to share their stories. Visit the National Rural Health Day toolkit landing page for more information, including AHA social media handles, hashtags, and more customizable social media posts.
