Rural Health Care Agenda Taking Shape

PHOENIX — Rural hospital executives are gathered in Phoenix to discuss how the shifting health care landscape is impacting their communities and organization, and the AHA's John Supplitt describes how.

Rural hospital leaders are wrestling with the question of how they can stay independent in the face of so much change taking place in the field. In this video, Jeanine Gentry from St. Charles Health System in Prineville, Ore., details how affiliations have helped to enhance care in her community.

The event, now in its 30th year, will brief more than 700 attendees on the federal health care agenda.
