Dear Partners in Rural Health, To all the partners of NOSORH, our long-time supporters and new friends: what a wonderful time to have rural on our minds! Over the last year, I ve had the pleasure of seeing many familiar faces at various events. It is so rewarding to spend time with others who believe in and contribute to our efforts. We count on you to help us support State Offices of Rural Health to address wide-ranging issues which impact the communities and providers they serve, and to grow the Power of Rural and reach of National Rural Health Day (NRHD). Honoring and giving special recognition to our sponsors on NRHD is a highlight of our annual celebration.

2017 Buzz NOSORH ANNUAL MEETING I could sense the passion for rural health is very genuine. Speakers were top notch. As always, NOSORH staff makes the meeting look like everything flows without effort, yet I realize how time consuming, detail oriented, and tricky it can be to do all the behind the scenes work. Fabulous job! I always leave filled with ideas and inspiration. It cannot be easy to herd cats in the way that you all do to make everything so seamless. Great work by everyone, thanks again, looking forward to next year s meeting. Thank you all for putting together another wonderful Annual Meeting! The long hours of prep work, strategic decisions and planning, along with a room packed full of wonderful people and expert knowledge continually make this one of the best conferences to attend. As a new director, this meeting was very beneficial from the content of the presentations to the added value of spending time with each sponsor. The best and most beneficial aspect was meeting other SORH staff from around the country. Everyone was professional, courteous, and very helpful in providing answers to ensure I had as much information as I could handle, yet making themselves available even after the meeting. 2017 NOSORH ANNUAL MEETING BUZZ
