Cordell Memorial Hospital is proud to join communities across America in celebration of National Rural Health Day (NRHD) on November 16, 2023. The National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) and rural-focused organizations throughout the United States set aside the third Thursday of November to recognize NRHD.
This annual event is an opportunity to celebrate the “Power of Rural” and honor the individuals and organizations dedicated to addressing the unique healthcare needs of nearly 61 million people living in rural America. These small towns, farming communities and frontier areas are wonderful places to live and work; they are places where neighbors know each other and work together.
“It is of vital importance that we ensure all rural Oklahomans have the opportunity to be healthy and have access to affordable, quality health care regardless of where they call home,” said Melinda Laird, CEO. “Cordell Memorial Hospital is proud to recognize the incredible work of health professionals and volunteers in our community on National Rural Health Day and throughout the year.”
Community members and stakeholders are invited to participate in NRHD activities to help Cordell Memorial Hospital celebrate the “Power of Rural.”
There will be a reception with cake for the community on Thursday, November 16 at 4:00 to celebrate the “Power of Rural” and recognize the coloring contest winners from our county schools.
“We want you there to celebrate with us,” Laird concluded.
