\"""\"<\/p>\n

Since 2010, the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health has celebrated National Rural Health Day on the third Thursday in November. It is a time to recognize the \u201cpower of rural\u201d and highlight the work being done to reduce health care disparities in rural communities.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme is, “Advancing Behavioral Health Equity in Rural Communities.\u201d\u00a0According to the\u00a0Health Resources & Services Administration<\/a>, behavioral health care is a challenge in rural communities due to stigma, lack of transportation, reimbursement issues, and a limited workforce.\u00a0The staff here at Region 6 recognizes the importance of this theme. Nearly all of the State Advisory Groups<\/a> we launched this year have identified mental health as the most pressing health issue and health disparity in their state. The groups are now beginning to provide leadership guidance and strategic direction for outreach and engagement activities on mental health care. I imagine some of these activities will have a rural focus, as sizeable percentages of the Region 6 population live in nonmetro areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Illinois<\/td>\n11.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Indiana<\/td>\n21.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Iowa<\/td>\n38.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Michigan<\/td>\n18.0%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Minnesota<\/td>\n22.2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ohio<\/td>\n19.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Wisconsin<\/td>\n25.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
