Happy National Rural Health Day! Today we celebrated the Power of Rural at FCHC with a delicious catered lunch for our incredible team!

National Rural Health Day is a chance to honor the selfless, community-minded, and determined spirit that defines rural America — including right here at home. At FCHC, we are honored to care for people of all ages in our region. The individuals we serve are our neighbors, friends, families, and those we’re grateful to meet along the way.

Thank you to our amazing providers and staff for choosing rural and being part of the FCHC family! And thank you to our community for trusting us with your care and supporting our Mission!

Together, we are stronger — and together, we embody the true Power of Rural.
