Welcome back to Rural Health Today! In this episode of our Rural Health & Maternity Care series, we’re talking to Harold Miller, the President and CEO of the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform. High-quality maternal and infant healthcare is vital for rural communities, but according to a recent report from CHQPR, 100 rural hospitals have stopped delivering babies in the past 5 years. Harold is here to share more about this report and his perspective and insight as a thought leader of rural maternity care. We’ll talk about why obstetric units are closings, the risks communities encounter when they do, and of course, what it all has to do with rural health.
