Dartmouth Health Targets Rural Hospice Care Gaps
Original: Dartmouth Health Addresses Rural Hospice, Palliative Care Disparities
Dartmouth Health is working to address disparities in hospice and palliative care for rural communities, where patients often face limited access to end-of-life services due to distance, workforce shortages, and fewer providers. The health system's efforts highlight growing attention to unequal care access outside urban areas, with rural patients frequently diagnosed later and receiving less comprehensive palliative support than their urban counterparts.
Why now: Rural health care access disparities are drawing increased attention as providers seek to close gaps in end-of-life services.
