Seeking Nominations for Rural Health Champion – Deadline October 1
Do you know someone who works in Rural Health that goes above and beyond to ensure that patients living in rural areas have access to the best health care possible?
Doctors, nurses, medical assistants, radiology technicians, pharmacists, therapists, front desk staff, administrators, and volunteers work hard every day to provide the best health care possible for patients living in rural areas of our state and many of them quietly go about their work with no recognition for the fantastic work they are doing.
The Department of Health and Senior Services, Office of Rural Health and Primary Care (ORHPC) is seeking nominations for the 2025 Rural Health Champion. This award is designed to honor a minimum of one individual and one group whose contributions are making a difference in Missouri rural healthcare through collaboration, education, innovation, and communication.
We will be honoring Rural Health Champions in an award ceremony during our Annual Rural Health Day Celebration, scheduled for Thursday, November 20 from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. at the Capital Bluffs Event Center in Jefferson City.
