The mission is not easy, but it is incredibly rewarding.” <br> <br>In the closing plenary, Liz Murray, author of “Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard” and subject of the Emmy-nominated Lifetime TV movie “Homeless to Harvard,” spoke on the importance of resilience and perseverance in leadership and in life. “Burnout is so real, and if you’re not careful you can become cynical,” she said. “Cynicism is the atrophy of your imagination and the atrophy of your heart. And you are so much more than that.” <br> <br>Prior to the closing session, attendees joined in discussion on topics such as: </p><ul><li>How health systems in Nebraska and California are working with community partners to create and support age-friendly health communities that meet the physical, mental and medical needs of older adults, and how other rural communities can follow in their footsteps. </li><li>A statewide initiative in Washington that helps rural stakeholders collaborate to deliver high-quality palliative care — and reduce the need for patient transfers to urban centers. </li><li>The latest legislative, legal and regulatory updates affecting the 340B program and developments to watch for in 2025.   </li></ul> Wed, 26 Feb 2025 14:25:30 -0600 AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference Washington update panel discusses legislative priorities for rural health care /news/headline/2025-02-25-aha-rural-advocacy-agenda <p>AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack joined AHA’s Chad Golder, senior vice president and general counsel, Travis Robey, vice president of political affairs, and Shannon Wu, director of payment policy, for a discussion on the ever-shifting landscape of health care affairs on Capitol Hill.

The wide-ranging discussion largely focused on the importance of rural health care, technology and community collaboration.</p><p>Hasse gave the example of a premature baby born at 23 weeks in a rural clinic unused to handling such a premature birth. Because of their eNICU program, a NICU specialist was remotely guiding the team through the delivery while a helicopter was en route to transport mom and baby to a larger facility. “Each year we celebrate [the baby girl’s] birthday at the clinic,” he said. “Digital technology can help us reach patients.”</p><p>That said, Hasse warned against becoming too dependent on technology and telehealth, “We need to ask what is the problem that we’re trying to solve and really take an evidence-based approach.”</p><p>Yaroch spoke about how collaborations with community partners improve relationships with patients and potential patients, whether it be addressing health concerns, food insecurity or other issues. “Collaborations show that we care beyond making a diagnosis and treatment,” she said.</p><p>Yaroch also spoke about how to effectively reach out to state and local governments. “They need to hear our story,” she said. “We need to share examples of experiences about how [Medicare and Medicaid] dollars are used to keep facilities open; how they’re used to touch patients’ lives.” </p><p>In his introductory comments, Marc Boom, M.D., president and CEO of Houston Methodist and chair-elect of the AHA Board of Trustees, told attendees that this was a unique time for rural hospitals and health care systems. </p><p>“Never waste a watershed moment,” he said. “Take those obstacles and turn them into your strengths.” </p> Tue, 25 Feb 2025 16:30:29 -0600 AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference Navigating the Impact of a Growing Medicare Advantage Program on Rural Hospitals /news/headline/2025-02-25-navigating-impact-growing-medicare-advantage-program-rural-hospitals <p>In a panel discussion moderated by Aaron Wesolowski, AHA vice president of research strategy and policy communications, John Allison, AHA senior associate director, health policy and analytics; Jeremy Martin, COO of St. James Parish Hospital in Lutcher, La.; and Carl Vaagenes, CEO, Alomere Health, in Alexandria, Minn., reviewed the impacts of certain Medicare Advantage programs on many rural hospitals, as revealed in the AHA’s new report, <a href="/guidesreports/growing-impact-medicare-advantage-rural-hospitals-across-america" target="_blank">The Growing Impact of Medicare Advantage on Rural Hospitals Across America</a>.</p><p>“It’s changing the way we do business,” Martin said. “Our patients do not understand what they have signed up for. What we’ve learned is that most people thought they had [Traditional] Medicare.” </p><p>The report shows that MA plans have had an over 100% growth in rural areas between 2018-2023 — double the rate of growth in urban hospitals. The major obstacles MA plans bring with them are low rates of reimbursement, administrative and care costs, and lower access to quality care. Each of the hospitals represented by the panelists has experienced each of these.</p><p>“The biggest pain point on the back end is the overhead it takes to put the team in place to get around prior authorizations and fighting the denials we receive,” Vaagenes said. </p><p>“Our team works really hard to help the patients navigate their program and make sure that their treatment is going to be covered,” Vaagenes said. “We’re trying to make sure we’re doing the best we can, and it’s one of the things we pride ourselves on.”</p> Tue, 25 Feb 2025 16:25:49 -0600 AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference Rural leadership conference day two roundup /news/headline/2025-02-25-rural-leadership-conference-day-two-roundup <p>Attendees got a first-hand look at what happens when cybercriminals launch a ransomware attack. A panel discussion with hospital leaders told how their organizations responded when cybercriminals breached the defenses of their well-prepared hospitals. The high-impact ransomware attacks against their organizations disrupted care delivery operations, ultimately increasing risk for patients and the communities they serve.

Discussions about challenges and opportunities facing the field range from hospital leadership to grassroots advocacy. <br> <br>Joanne Conroy, CEO and president of Dartmouth Health and immediate past chair of the AHA Board of Trustees; Sunil Eappen, president and CEO of the University of Vermont Health Network; and Andrew Mueller, CEO of MaineHealth, discussed the importance of coordinated grassroots advocacy for raising awareness about the challenges rural academic health systems face. The discussion also covered how this collaborative effort successfully influenced lawmakers and how other rural systems can put these strategies into practice. <br> <br>Attendees also took part in other sessions, including topics on governance, innovation, workforce and more, such as:    <br> <br>•    How UNC Health Blue Ridge in North Carolina and Samaritan Health Services in Oregon worked with local partners to address unique issues rural communities face in treating substance use disorders and what solutions can be applied to other rural communities. <br>•    Rural hospitals that use free and low-cost resources to strengthen their cybersecurity capabilities, such as tools from universities and nonprofits. <br>•    Hospitals that are increasing access to maternal care in rural communities through telehealth, workforce development and education, and training on timely screening, referral and intervention. </p> Mon, 24 Feb 2025 16:05:08 -0600 AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference Columbia Memorial Hospital honored for collaborative leadership and transformational change in rural Oregon  /news/headline/2025-02-24-columbia-memorial-hospital-honored-collaborative-leadership-and-transformational-change-rural-oregon <p>AHA Board of Trustees Chair Tina Freese Decker Feb. 24 presented the <a href="/press-releases/2025-02-18-aha-names-2025-rural-hospital-leadership-team-award-winner-and-finalists">2024 Rural Hospital Leadership Team Award</a> to the team from Columbia Memorial Hospital, a critical access hospital in Astoria, Ore.

He urged attendees to “light up the switchboards” on Capitol Hill to protect the programs vital to rural hospitals' sustainability. <br> <br>“What really unites us is that we care for people, and protecting these programs is about our ability to care for people,” Pollack said. “With so much at stake in the coming weeks and months, it is vital that we continue to face health care challenges together, speaking as one voice to protect the blue and white ‘H’ that is a beacon of hope in every community across the nation.” <br> <br>Tina Freese Decker, president and CEO of Corewell Health in Grand Rapids, Mich., and chair of the AHA Board of Trustees, echoed Pollack’s message of determination and dedication. “We know we can do hard things,” she said. “No matter what happens, we are all in ... because we know our neighbors are counting on us to be there.” <br> <br>Former Army Surgeon General and Commanding General of the U.S. Army Medical Command R. Scott Dingle spoke about rural hospital and health care leaders' unique position when it comes to steering through the uncharted waters that lie ahead. “You, the leaders, must be adaptable and flexible to the many problems you’re going to have to face,” he said. “But uncharted doesn’t mean impossible.” </p> Mon, 24 Feb 2025 16:03:44 -0600 AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference AHA Names 2024 Rural Hospital Leadership Team Award Winner and Finalists /press-releases/2025-02-18-aha-names-2025-rural-hospital-leadership-team-award-winner-and-finalists <p><strong>WASHINGTON </strong>(<strong>February 18, 2025)</strong> – <strong>The Association (AHA) today announced the team from Columbia Memorial Hospital (CMH), a critical access hospital (CAH) in Astoria, Ore., as the 2024 recipient of the Rural Hospital Leadership Team Award.</strong> The award recognizes rural hospital leaders who guide their hospital and community through change and innovation. The honorees display outstanding leadership, responsiveness to their community’s health needs and a collaborative process that has led to measurable outcomes. The award will be presented at the 38th annual <a href="https://ruralconference.aha.org/">AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference</a>, which will be held Feb. 23-26 in San Antonio.<strong> </strong> </p><p>CMH provides a broad range of specialty services to a population size of more than 41,000, in addition to providing care for some of the over 125,000 tourists visiting Oregon’s North Coast annually. In 2010, CMH established a clinical collaboration with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to enhance access to specialty care within the community. In 2017, the CMH-OHSU Knight Cancer Collaborative, a state-of-the-art cancer treatment center, opened in Astoria, offering medical and radiation oncology services. The Cancer Center saves local patients more than 80,000 miles and 1,600 hours of drive time each year. Through the years, the relationship with OHSU has grown, bringing much-needed services like cardiology, cancer care, endocrinology and pulmonology to the region. </p><p>In October 2024, CMH broke ground on the BuildCMH Expansion Project, a 180,000-square-foot hospital expansion. The four-year capital improvement project will expand hospital service lines, attract new providers and provide the latest technology to address community health needs. The new facility is being constructed with disaster resiliency in mind, including a Tsunami Vertical Evacuation Refuge Structure to offer a safe evacuation space to community members and caregivers, as well as a rooftop helipad and emergency operations center.    </p><p><strong>The AHA Rural Hospital Leadership Award also recognized as finalists the teams at Atrium Health Lincoln in Lincoln, N.C.; Schneck Medical Center in Seymour, Ind.; and Summit Pacific Medical Center in Elma, Wash.</strong></p><p><strong>Atrium Health Lincoln’s</strong> (AHL) innovative use of telemedicine brings across-the-spectrum care to underserved communities through virtual health programs. The school-based virtual therapy program serves over 2,000 students and facilitated approximately 18,000 therapy visits in 2023, resulting in over 30% improvement in depressive and anxiety symptoms among participants. Leveraging a virtual platform for care creates increased accessibility resulting in a 10% increase in family therapy engagement. The program has since expanded beyond Lincoln County and now operates in 11 counties and 204 schools, making it the largest school-based virtual therapy program in the Southeast. AHL’s school-based virtual care model includes virtual therapy and telemedicine appointments. These services provide care to students without their parents having to sacrifice leave from work for a therapy or medical visit. Instead, the parent, student and provider (and an interpreter, if needed) meet virtually and use digital diagnostic devices to assess the student and provide treatment. For telemedical appointments, 69% of students are able to return to class immediately after their appointment, avoiding absenteeism and maximizing critical learning time. Other telemedicine innovations include tele-neurology, which enhances stroke care and education; virtual critical care; and virtual school-based psychiatry.  </p><p><strong>Schneck Medical Center</strong> (SMC) is the only hospital facility in rural Jackson County and is a trusted provider of services across the care continuum. Founded in 1911 as a 17-bed hospital, Schneck now comprises more than 1,200 employees, 125 volunteers and nearly 200 providers. Jackson County has a high rate of chronic conditions and poverty, with 31% of the adult population living below 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL). To address these factors, Schneck is the backbone organization for the Healthy Jackson County coalition, highlighting the impact of collaboration in the reduction of chronic disease. Schneck also spearheads and supports programs fighting food insecurity; addressing the specific needs of the area’s Latino population; and bringing care to those with mental health and substance use disorders.  </p><p><strong>Summit Pacific Medical Center</strong> (SPMC) is a critical access hospital serving Grays Harbor County and has a bold vision of building the healthiest community in the country. SPMC is being recognized for its innovative approach to addressing the region’s significant health challenges, including high rates of chronic disease, economic hardship and poor health factors. Through its Low Barrier Behavioral and Primary Care Clinic, SPMC provides integrated behavioral health, medication-assisted treatment and walk-in services to underserved populations facing barriers to care. Additionally, the hospital’s newly accredited Rural Family Medicine Residency Program has added more than 3,000 patient visits each year. SPMC’s commitment to community health extends to its Food as Medicine (Rx) Program, which offers education through a nutritionist, cooking classes and weekly food subscription boxes to combat high rates of diabetes and poor dietary habits. Since its launch, the program has contributed to a 6.2% reduction in hemoglobin A1C levels and a nearly 20% decrease in LDL cholesterol for the members who participate. Through these initiatives, SPMC continues to drive meaningful improvements in health outcomes, reinforcing its role as a leader in rural health care innovation.</p><p class="text-align-center">###</p><p><strong>About the Association</strong><br>The Association (AHA) is a not-for-profit association of health care provider organizations and individuals that are committed to the health improvement of their communities.
