Rural healthcare is essential

There are nearly 60 million  Americans living in rural areas, including 1.5 million in New York State, that require adequate medical care. The U.S. Government Accountability Office shows that these communities often face significant barriers to healthcare access, including a shortage of providers, longer travel distances to medical facilities, and limited access to specialized services. A lack of broadband internet also hinders the use of telehealth services, which has become crucial in expanding access to care.
