Since 2010, the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health set aside the third Thursday of every November to celebrate National Rural Health Day.
National Rural Health Day is an opportunity to celebrate the “power of rural.” We use this day to highlight the unique health care challenges that rural people face. Then, we show how our programs and policies, and the efforts of our partners and stakeholders, help address and reduce health care disparities in rural communities.
Optim Medical Center-Screven is proud to recognize our rural health clinic staff. Pictured are: (1) from Optim Primary Care-Sylvania: Karen Anderson, FNP-BC; Hope; Jessica; Anna; Ebony (Clinic Manager); Dr. Sid Morgan; and (2) from Optim Primary Care-Millen: Laura; Jodi Gilmer, PA-C; Andrea; Paige (Clinic Manager); Tammy; Dr. Prakul Chandra. Thank you for all you do!!!
