Rural Pennsylvania community fights to save its only hospital
Original: A rural Pennsylvania community fights to save its only hospital from closing
Residents of a rural Pennsylvania community are campaigning to keep their local hospital open, as the facility faces the threat of closure. The hospital is described as the area's only one, meaning residents could otherwise face long journeys for emergency and routine care. Local concern centres on access to healthcare and the economic impact losing the hospital would have on the community.
Why now: Rural hospital closures are a growing concern, and the loss of an area's only hospital directly threatens residents' access to care.
