Understand how closures affect your patients
“Every hospital closure sends more patients through our doors — but our funding doesn't follow.”
The Challenge
Community health centers absorb the impact of hospital closures with limited data and resources
Patient Surge from Closures
When rural hospitals close, patients shift to community health centers with no corresponding increase in capacity or funding. Demand spikes are unpredictable.
4 hospital closures in West Virginia since 2005
Data Gaps
No visibility into which communities are losing hospital access, what services are disappearing, or how patient demographics will shift.
15 counties with no hospital
Grant Justification
HRSA 330 applications require detailed local health data — diabetes rates, HPSA status, uninsured populations — scattered across multiple agencies and websites.
Multi-Site Coordination
Managing 5-15 clinic sites across rural counties with no unified analytics. Each site reports independently with no roll-up view.

Common Questions
Is this relevant for FQHCs, not just hospitals?
Absolutely. The platform tracks the entire rural health ecosystem — hospitals, health professional shortages, county health metrics, and federal funding. FQHCs are a critical part of that ecosystem, especially in hospital desert counties.
Can this help with our HRSA grant applications?
Yes. The platform provides the exact community health data HRSA requires — HPSA designations, health outcome metrics, uninsured rates, and social vulnerability scores — all with source citations ready for grant narratives.
How do we know which closures affect our patients?
The platform maps every closure since 2005 alongside county population data and hospital desert analysis. Ask the AI to show closure impacts for specific counties in your service area.
Does this integrate with our EHR or UDS data?
The current platform focuses on publicly available community-level data (CMS, CDC, HRSA, Census). It complements your internal data by providing the external context your internal systems can't.
