Rural Health Recaps
Rural Health Research Centers are committed to providing timely, quality national research on the most pressing rural health issues, often exploring the same topics from various perspectives. Gateway has developed Rural Health Research Recaps to identify the key findings from all of the research centers on specific rural health topics. These resources (two of two) provide summaries of their most recent research on hospital closures and the effects of these closures. See the Additional Resources below for the complete list of Research Centers' work cited in these recaps.
