--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki will host a rural health community forum in St. John Parish, Louisiana, as part of the Obama Administration’s Rural Tour.

At the 90-minute community forum, the four Cabinet Secretaries will share information about the federal government’s efforts to rebuild and revitalize rural America, listen to local residents about what is going on in rural America, and discuss solutions to the challenges facing our communities.

Rural Tour events have already been held in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Michigan. Future events are currently scheduled in Alaska, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Ohio.
