HRSA is celebrating National Rural Health Day on Thursday, November 17. This year’s theme is “Advancing Behavioral Health Equity in Rural Communities.”

Join us on November 17 from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. PT / 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. ET for a discussion with HRSA Administrator, Carole Johnson, and other HHS leaders to hear about what the federal government is doing to increase behavioral health equity in rural communities, including substance use treatment.

There are a variety of other events scheduled throughout the week. HRSA grantees will share best practices from their rural work on strengthening mental health, and other presentations will tackle important topics like workplace stress and intimate partner violence. For more information and a schedule of events, visit the HRSA National Rural Health Day webpage.
