2024 Virginia Rural Hospital Report
In recognition of National Rural Health Day (Nov. 21, 2024), which has been celebrated since 2011, the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association (VHHA) is releasing the 2024 Virginia Rural Hospital Report. The report was compiled with support from the VHHA Rural Health Task Force, and it offers a series of administrative and legislative proposals to help improve and sustain access to care in rural Virginia focused on five policy areas: behavioral health, maternal health, health care workforce development, telehealth, and transportation.
The Virginia Rural Hospital Report also highlights the public health and economic contributions made by rural hospitals, and features rural hospital programs and initiatives focused on addressing community challenges.
VHHA extends its gratitude to members of the Rural Health Task Force from the following organizations - Augusta Health, Ballad Health, Bon Secours, Buchanan General Hospital, Carilion Clinic, Centra Health, Lifepoint Health, Riverside Health System, Sentara Health, UVA Health, Valley Health, and VCU Health - for their contributions in developing the 2024 Virginia Rural Hospital Report.
