Healthy People, Strong Communities

How your local hospital contributes to the economic growth and development of your town

Rural hospital administrators will discuss the importance of sustainable healthcare in your communities and the challenges they face to ensure local access to quality care.

Invited panelists include:

• Ted Matthews, CEO, Anson General Hospital
• Clay Vogel, CEO, Coleman County Medical Center
• Michelle Stevens, CEO, Haskell Memorial Hospital
• Michael Moorhead, CEO, Stonewall Memorial Hospital, Aspermont
• Kelly Cheek, Executive Director,  Texas Rural Health Association/West Central Texas Council of Governments

Working together to ensure access to care in our rural communities is more important now than ever.  Texas leads the nation in loss of rural inpatient care via facility closure or conversion (26) over the last 15 years, and Texas also leads the nation in the number of facilities vulnerable to closure (47).

Join us to learn how we can work together to ensure access to care in our rural communities.
