National Rural Health Day is an opportunity to recognize the dedication of rural health providers, community organizations, and state offices of rural health in meeting the unique health care needs of rural America.

HRSA highlighted this year’s focus on maternal health by holding HRSA’s latest Enhancing Maternal Health Initiative convening today by Associate Administrators Michael Warren and Tom Morris in Centreville, Alabama. The event brought together women and families from rural communities who are served by HRSA programs, grant recipients, state and local health officials, community organizations, and health care providers from across the state to continue to work together to address maternal mortality and provide critical supports to help ensure the health and well-being of families in Alabama.
