: risk of closure before the COVID-19 pandemic because of
: financial losses and lack of reserves to maintain
: operations, according to a report from the Center for
: Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform.
: Nearly every state had at least one rural hospital at
: immediate risk of closure before the pandemic. In 22
: states, 25 percent or more of rural hospitals were at
: immediate risk, according to the report.
: The hospitals identified as being at immediate risk of closure
: had a cumulative negative total margin over the most recent

: rural hospitals in the country - are either at immediate or
