Over the last ten years, over 100 rural hospitals have closed their doors. Roughly one in three rural hospitals have been identified as 'at risk.' If there was ever a need for strong leadership, that time is now. RHLR's mission is to provide a forum to have conversations with rural health leaders to discuss and share ideas about what is working, what is not working, lessons learned, success stories, strategies, things to avoid and anything else you want to talk and hear about. RHLR provides a voice for rural health. The only investment is your time, and our goal is to make sure you receive a huge return on your investment.
