Rural health care: an American perspective.
Over the past five years, the authors have researched various aspects of health care in rural communities in the United States. Interviews were conducted with some 100 rural physicians and hospital administrators, 75 hospital governing board members, and other rural community leaders. The difficulties of maintaining reasonable access to health services in rural communities are discussed, as are the strategies for rural health care used by policy makers and hospital governing boards.
