Is Rural Emergency Hospital the BEST Option for You?

This Rural Emergency Hospital Webinar features a conversation with rural hospital CEOs that worked with the Technical Assistance Center throughout their assessment of the REH designation. Two of these CEOs decided to move forward with conversion for their organizations while one CEO decided it was not a viable option. Hear their first hand experiences, including the “wins”, challenges, and lessons learned.

Insights from Rural Emergency Hospital Experiences

These recorded sessions feature firsthand experiences from the field offering practical lessons, strategic considerations, and guidance on how the REH model can help preserve vital outpatient and emergency services in rural communities. With Medicare’s REH provider type now in effect, these discussions offer timely insight for hospitals considering conversion and highlight the technical assistance resources available.
