How rural hospitals are banding together to survive
Bowman, N.D., has about 1,400 residents, and they rely on Southwest Healthcare Services. The facility joined with other rural hospitals in the state to form a network that allows it to remain independent while sharing resources in an effort to save money and improve patient care.

Independent and rural hospitals are collaborating with their neighbors to shore up their finances instead of joining larger health systems to stay afloat.
