Stories from the State
Advocates from across the country submit their patient stories about 24/7 care, large corporate insurers, and rural healthcare access in order to highlight the importance of access to care.
I spent about nine weeks in a small hospital in Republic, WA last year. I can’t say enough about the wonderful staff we have here — wonderful people. They were professional, friendly and efficient. They went above and beyond to care for me and my particular situation.

In my rural area, the nearest hospital is at least 25 minutes away. Urgent care is open from 8AM – 8PM everyday– but what about after 8 pm? We need more hospitals staffed 24/7!
