In Pennsylvania, approximately 26% of the population live within the state's 48 rural counties, including Cambria and Somerset Counties. However, over the last 20 years, more than 30 hospitals across the state have significantly reduced services or closed entirely.
At Conemaugh Health System, we're committed to support our rural communities with high quality healthcare to ensure our friends, families, and neighbors receive the care they need and deserve. Happy Rural Health Day! 🌲🩺
