The New York State Office of Mental Health is excited to invite our communities, partners, and colleagues to the 2025 Health Equity Summit: “Addressing Mental Health Inequities in Rural Communities.”

This statewide gathering will bring together leaders, practitioners, and advocates to explore how social determinants of health and socio-economic factors shape access to care, quality of services, and treatment outcomes for New Yorkers living in rural areas. Together, we will share strategies, build connections, and strengthen our commitment to advancing mental health equity across the state.
