Rural Hospital Gets $500K Boost | Birmingham News

Lakeland Community Hospital in Haleyville is set to receive nearly half a million dollars in federal funding to transform rural healthcare access. The money, from Alabama’s Rural Health Transformation Program, will expand telehealth services and fund non-emergency transportation, ensuring patients—from infants to seniors—can get essential care without traveling long distances. This vital investment helps keep small hospitals open, prevents closures, and saves lives by bridging the gap between rural communities and the medical care they desperately need.
