The REH model “is not designed to replace existing, well-functioning rural hospitals,” said George Pink. “It really is targeted at small rural communities that are at imminent risk of a hospital closing.”

Subtle change to our closure website: the default map now loads on a map showing REHs as orange dots. By clicking on the orange bar, the user can see where the REHs are. https://t.co/sBxiWbfG43

We just added the first REH conversion to our closures website. (https://t.co/sBxiWbfG43) We know there are more but are refining our confirmation process so that we can apply consistently moving forward. We expect to update with more next week.

[NC Rural Health @NCrural]

Uncertainty remains about who will convert to REH. Each rural hospital and community face numerous problems and challenges. Ultimately, decisions about conversion to a new provider type may be driven by more than data or the immediate financial considerations. -30-

NEW RESEARCH ALERT (make that "REHsearch"...) on Rural Emergency Hospitals. https://t.co/wsBoCXOvmO

[NC Rural Health @NCrural]

Takeaway: We see four factors as determining the decision to convert to an REH -- Risk of financial distress and closure, The business case, Community support, Consolidation.

This project benefits from an exceptionally valuable partnership with the amazing team @NavigatorNc. We plan on updating periodically throughout open enrollment as data flow in. If you or someone you know are looking to enroll, visit here: https://t.co/DDQT5KYuwK

Today, on the 1st day of Open Enrollment, we are delighted to launch a dashboard on Marketplace Enrollment in NC. https://t.co/uY0mAQKcrA

[NC Rural Health @NCrural]

Made possible with @KateBReynolds support, the dashboard provides estimates of eligibility, last year’s enrollment rates, and some enrollment events in maps and charts.

[NC Rural Health @NCrural]

Halfway there.

The pets of the NC Rural Health Research Program wish you all a happy National #Rural Health Day. Some very good pups, and some other kind of animal that i guess some people use for a pet sometimes? (although kudos on the creativity).
