Small-Town Grit

Consumers expect up-to-date technology, well-kept facilities and top-notch medical care whether they are at a large urban medical center or tiny Washington County Hospital in Nashville, Ill. Faced with tight operating margins, limited access to capital and staffing shortages, many rural hospitals are turning to the few resources they have left: their communities … and each other.

WOW, what a panoramic view of the rural hospital and the challenges it faces. Must read for anyone who needs to bone up on the situation in order to deal with the situtation.

Thanks for that . . . .
