#Rural communities are wonderful places to live and work, which is why nearly 61 million people call them home.
#NationalRuralHealthDay is an opportunity to celebrate the #PowerOfRural by honoring the selfless, community-minded spirit that prevails in rural America.

During NRHA's Rural Health Disparities Summit presented in partnership with @aafp, Don Warne of @UNDSMHS explained the difference between equality and equity, including why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for rural America. #PI2021 #ruralhealth

CMS' John Hammarlund thanked NRHA members for their hard work caring for rural residents & asked for help delivering rural #COVID19 vaccine messaging.

Rural is being recognized as a dimension of inequity in @JoeBiden's Health Equity Committee. @DrNunezSmith speaks to #PI2021 about how policy can't be "one size fits all".

In an interview with @Amorganrural, White House #COVID19 Task Force Co-Chair @DrNunezSmith discussed how to get rural communities resources to address the pandemic while also thinking more broadly about longstanding health care disparities. #ruralhealth #PI2021

Q. #vaccine reluctance in rural - how do we "turn the tide in hard hit communities?"
A. We did not have the #PublicHealth infrastructure we NEEDED to respond to the pandemic - we know public health & community health workers are crucial

GAO found that when rural hospitals closed residents have to travel substantially farther to access care. This report examines this fact as well as changes in the availability of health care providers in counties with and without closures. gao.gov/products/GAO-21-93?u…
