Since 2005, 122 rural hospitals have closed - 80 since 2010. George Pink, PhD, and Mark Holmes, PhD, both of the North Carolina Rural Health Research and Policy Analysis Center will present updated and new data about closed rural hospitals and their post-closure disposition. A model predicting financial distress and closure in rural hospitals will be described. Characteristics of hospitals at high risk of financial distress will be identified and trends in risk of financial distress among rural hospitals analyzed.
