No matter where you live, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality health care. During Rural Hospital Week, we’re uplifting the vital role that rural hospitals have in delivering health care to 60 million Americans across the country.

Rural hospitals rely on Medicare funding to keep their doors open, and many of their patients are Medicare recipients too. And so expected budget cuts to Medicare may fall hard on not only Medicare recipients, but entire rural communities.
