If you are concerned about rural health this is an urgent story: www-nytimes-com.cdn.ampproje…. Rural America suffered during #COVID19 because of a lack of access to health care & often delayed care. See this piece from @holiviero: ajc.com/news/atlanta-news/co…. @GOP this is your issue!!
We applaud @MOHospitals for the release of their new equity guide for hospitals. The guide offers case studies, discussion points, and suggestions even non-hospital organizations could benefit from reviewing.
