The good news is that no rural hospitals in Texas have closed in the last two years. The bad news? They’re still in crisis mode, and the state government is still struggling to find a remedy. From rossramsey.
Rural Texas can be a very dangerous place to be badly injured or really sick.in rural Texas closed, according to the Texas Organization of Rural and Community Hospitals, known as TORCH.
“I tell people that we limped into the pandemic, and we limped out of it,” says John Henderson, CEO and president of TORCH. “Some [hospitals] say they’re better off now, that their communities are grateful they were here,” Henderson says. “But I’ve got four or five on my list who are still headed for trouble.”
An example: Telemedicine helps a lot in rural hospitals, bringing expertise to places that don’t have it. But telemedicine is delivered over broadband, and if that’s not available, telemedicine isn’t available, either. Henderson isn’t as pessimistic as you might expect, saying legislators are generally sympathetic to the troubles in rural health care.
