Celebrating National Hospital Week:
Rural Hospital Spotlight

During National Hospital Week, May 11–17, we recognize the critical role hospitals play in keeping our communities healthy and especially in rural areas where access to care is limited. Haskell Memorial Hospital in West Central Texas is a reminder of how essential local healthcare is. With a strong, team-based approach, they provide timely, expert care close to home when it’s needed most.

Rural patient, provider, and community stories are at the heart of what we advocate for. Your experiences help shape the future of healthcare access in communities like yours.
