New! Key Messages and Data Points
The Key Messages & Data Points resource is made available each year to educate various stakeholders on the realities of rural through stories and data. Though the statistics and facts presented in this resource do not tell the whole story, they are essential to understand when developing policies and programs that affect the health of rural communities.
Promotional Tools
The Promotional Toolkit features free downloadable tools, such as logos, social media graphics, templates, and activity sheets for kids. These tools help enhance your community outreach efforts to schools, media, businesses, and more. New items will continue to be added!
