In rural Oklahoma, Fairfax Community serviced an area “larger than a few states,” with no other medical services available within 30 driven miles from its front doors. Fairfax and 154 other rural American hospitals have closed their doors for good since 2005. In fact, the closures have accelerated and accumulated enough for the University of North Carolina’s (UNC) Rural Health Research Program to track them with a dedicated project.
