Manage episode 330305805 series 1293946
Rural healthcare faces unique challenges. Patients need to travel further to access care and attracting talent to more remote areas can be difficult. Issues that existed before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic have grown as the healthcare workforce struggles to regain job losses over the past two years and more facilities close their doors.
