Rural Hospital Closings At A Crisis

According to a new report by Navigant, 34 states have 5 or more rural hospitals at high financial risk. These hospitals provide health services to 60 million Americans. Although the issues that are causing these closures are complex, one of the factors identified in the report was that “many already budget-strapped rural hospitals have been unable to keep up with technological trends as they lack the capital to invest in updated, innovative technology, such as electronic health records (EHRs) and advanced imaging platforms.” These rising issues are what drives Universal Medical Systems to provide a lower-cost option to help alleviate these budget-strapped hospitals. We can help hospitals save hundreds of thousands of dollars without sacrificing patient safety and quality of care in order for them to use such savings to update to the newer technological trends that can potentially save them from this crisis. If you would like to join to provide surplus equipment that can help, or you are a refurbisher that would like to help bring equipment to like-new conditions, or you are a struggling hospital that needs our help, please contact us today so we can start working with you and help millions of American retain access to necessary health services.
