Sharing your personal stories is a vital part of advocacy. At NRHA, we want to lift-up rural voices and capture your experiences in our advocacy efforts. Please share your experiences in rural health, whether it is working in a rural hospital struggling with workforce shortages, traveling far distances to obtain healthcare access, experiencing the impact of rural hospital closures in your community, or explaining how specific rural programs and funding have benefited or harmed your rural community.
We will be tracking and saving your stories to utilize and quote in specific advocacy campaigns, messaging, social media, and Hill meetings with Congress. If you are comfortable with us sharing or quoting parts of your story, please indicate so by checking the box to allow us to share it with others!
Additionally, we are partnering with our Rural Health State Associations to enhance your state-level advocacy efforts! Utilizing state-specific stories to spotlight rural health in your state. If you are comfortable with us sharing or quoting parts of your story with your local State Association, please indicate so by checking the box to allow us to share with them! If your Rural Health State Association wishes to receive any state-specific submissions from this platform, data will be released quarterly per request.
If you have any questions or requests, please contact our Government Affairs and Policy Coordinator, Sabrina Ho (sho@ruralhealth.us).
