Watch the latest short film from our original series Remote Chance: Health Care in Rural America, which addresses major health concerns in rural communities. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Elizabeth Arledge; made possible by the PATH Foundation 
More than 130 rural hospitals have closed in the US since 2010 and fewer than half of those that are still open offer maternity services, forcing pregnant women to travel long distances for care and increasing the risk of negative outcomes for moms and babies. This lack of basic services is a startling example of deep disparities in healthcare in rural areas, and calls into question some of our most fundamental values about the lives of women and infants.
