Rural Hospitals Risk Closure Due to Covid-19-Related Drop in Revenue in 2021

Like their urban counterparts, rural hospitals are struggling financially.  And those continued struggles could mean a lack of access to health care for patients in rural areas.  According to a report issued February 25 by the American Hospital Association (AHA), American hospitals and health care systems will lose between $53 and $122 billion in revenue in 2021, mainly due to Covid-19 and reduced patient volumes. In 2020, hospitals lost an estimated $323 billion in revenue.  “When we talk about the historic financial challenges hospitals face, it’s about more than dollars and cents, it’s really about making sure hospitals and health systems have the resources needed to provide essential services for their patients and communities,” said Rick Pollack, AHA president and CEO, in a statement.
