Three Rivers Health honored as Wyoming’s ‘Community Star’

Three Rivers Health has been named Wyoming’s 2024 “Community Star” by the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH).

On the third Thursday of November, NOSORH leads National Rural Health Day (NRHD), an annual celebration that shines a light on those who serve the vital health needs of the nearly 61 million people living in rural America. 

Three Rivers Health will be featured prominently on the official NRHD website, PowerOfRural.org, on November 21, 2024, alongside other Community Stars from across the nation. This platform will showcase each Star’s remarkable dedication and contributions to rural healthcare.

The Wyoming Office of Rural Health joined NOSORH in honoring Three Rivers Health as Wyoming’s Community Star. “The last year has been remarkable in that we had six days of cash in June of 2023. The facility was in danger of closing,” said CEO Joel Jackson. “The team and our community worked together to re-imagine what our needs are and worked diligently to focus on patient care.” 

The Community Star Recognition Program was established in conjunction with NRHD in 2015 to tell the stories of the people and organizations who make a difference in rural communities. Since then, over 350 inspiring rural stars have been honored nationwide on NRHD.
