Abstract

Between 1980 and 1988, 132 rural hospitals closed, and left their towns with no general hospital. Most of those towns also lost physicians, and 19 were left with no physicians 2 years after closure. The smaller, more remote towns had few physicians to begin with and were more likely than larger towns to lose physicians along with their hospitals.
