Celebrating National Rural Health Day: The Power of Rural At Stephens County Hospital, we are proud to be a part of our area rural communities and deeply honored to serve as your healthcare providers. National Rural Health Day (NRHD) is a special opportunity to highlight the incredible work being done by rural healthcare providers, organizations, and stakeholders across the country. It’s a day to celebrate the “Power of Rural” and recognize the commitment of those working to meet the unique healthcare needs of rural America. Rural communities are home to nearly 61 million people, from small towns and farming communities to frontier areas. These places are full of resilient, supportive neighbors who collaborate to improve their communities. The values of respect, cooperation, and shared purpose foster progress and innovation, creating vibrant, thriving environments for both living and working. Beyond their strong sense of community, rural areas are also critical to the nation’s economy, providing essential goods, services, and resources that benefit the entire country. On National Rural Health Day, we celebrate the efforts of the healthcare teams at Stephens County Hospital, our clinics, EMS, and across the state. These dedicated individuals are working tirelessly to address the challenges that come with providing healthcare in rural areas. From overcoming geographic isolation to ensuring access to specialized care, these healthcare professionals are making a difference in the lives of rural residents every day. We are proud to be part of the remarkable communities in our region, and we look forward to continuing our work together to improve the health and well-being of all who live and work in these areas. Thank you for trusting us to care for you, and for being part of what makes rural America such a special place to live and work. #NationalRuralHealthDay #RuralAmerica #PowerofRural #stephenscountyhospital

Her patients and co-workers love her.” - “You never have to ask her for help; she sees what needs to be done and just gets it done. Always a positive attitude, hardworking, and patient.” - “Whitney will take the time to educate anyone on how to do something new. She is such a blessing to work with.” - “Whitney was so nice and caring to me and my family both times I was in the hospital.” We are incredibly grateful to have such an extraordinary nurse as Whitney on our team.
