Celebrate National Rural Health Day 2025 — All Week Long

To every rural provider, clinic, and hospital — thank you for keeping care close to home. Azalea Health is honored to help recognize your efforts and your teams.

Know a Rural Health Hero?

Rural Care Is Driven By Extraordinary People. Let's Recognize Them.

From the front desk to nursing, billing to leadership — rural care is powered by heroes. Share a shout-out to recognize them and lift them up. Your submission will be added to our Wall of Gratitude this week — and every eligible shout-out is entered for a chance to receive one of three sponsored registrations to the 2026 NARHC Institute in Atlanta (March 16–18), courtesy of Azalea Health.

Entries close November 20 at 11:59 p.m. CT. 

Nominees may be featured in Azalea Health’s Rural Health Week celebrations on this page and elsewhere! Please share only professional stories — no patient PII. No purchase necessary. Three winners will be selected by random drawing to receive sponsored NARHC Spring Institute registrations (no cash value).  See full terms
