Want to voice your concerns and experiences with rural hospitals?

Auditor Adam Edelen will host a series of public hearings across Kentucky this summer to discuss the financial health of rural hospitals.

The 10 hearings kick off a study by the Auditor’s office that seeks to understand the challenges facing small, community hospitals that provide health care to 45 percent of Kentuckians and are key economic drivers in those communities.

“Rural hospitals are teetering on the edge of survival in many Kentucky communities,” Auditor Edelen said. “This is an effort to understand the degree to which our hospitals are in crisis and what might be done to save them.”

Kentuckians are encouraged to attend these events and voice their concerns and experiences in rural hospitals.
