About Rural Health Care
California’s nearly five dozen rural hospitals, including 37 critical access hospitals, provide care to more than 2 million people. They are lifelines and economic pillars for the communities they serve. Many of these hospitals are on the financial brink, reducing services just to stay open and facing the possibility of closure. These challenges place the most vulnerable populations at risk as Californians will have to travel great distances to get the care they need.
The California Critical Access Hospital Network (CCAHN) is a statewide organization that creates collaborative working relationships among California critical access hospitals to strengthen their ability to care for their communities through sharing resources, education, and innovation.
