The Guthrie Clinic has proudly provided access to high-quality care throughout rural Pennsylvania and New York.
As president and CEO of this system, I have come to intimately understand that health systems like ours do more than provide medical care; we are the anchor institutions in the communities we serve.
Despite significant need and well-intentioned efforts, rural health-care systems across the country and here at home are struggling due to financial pressures, regulatory burdens and workforce shortages.
When a small hospital or clinic closes, it’s not merely an inconvenience, it’s a crisis for the community that can mean the difference between life and death. However, with the right support, we can continue to do what we do best: care for every patient, every time, regardless of zip code.
