title: Blue skies, sunny days.
abstract: The storm clouds and bad news surrounding rural hospitals sometimes block out the other side of the story. In this issue, HealthTexas looks at three rural health care providers--Medina Community Hospital, Starr County Memorial Hospital, and Moore County Hospital District--that are doing far more than just hanging on; they are succeeding. What they share is important and instructive: a strong commitment to their communities, a whatever-it-takes-to-get-the-job-done attitude, and a creative approach to defining the role of rural health care providers.
