The National Grange is proud to release our 2025 Rural Health Report — a comprehensive look at the unique health challenges facing rural America and the opportunities for stronger, healthier communities.

From access to care and workforce shortages to mental health and chronic disease, this report sheds light on the realities rural families face every day — and highlights innovative solutions, partnerships, and advocacy efforts that can make a difference.

Health is at the heart of rural resilience, yet there's a health crisis facing the 20% of the population who live there. Together, we can ensure that no community is left behind.

Subscribers to Good Day! magazine will receive the Rural Health Report in the October issue as the "Perspectives" piece.
The 2025 Rural Health Report was researched, compiled, and written by National Grange summer interns Chloe Schmitz and Lily Thomas.
