In honor of today’s National Rural Health Day, the AHA has posted a series of blogs showcasing rural hospitals’ and health systems’ achievements in preserving local access to care in their communities and outlining the association’s rural legislative priorities for Congress.

AHA case examples also featured best practices and lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, underscoring the innovative spirit and resourcefulness of rural hospitals and health systems. In addition, AHA is honoring the heroic work of our rural providers in a slide show highlighting the courageous staff at rural hospitals and health systems who are facing unique challenges and continuing to serve patients where they are.
