Telehealth Shutdown Hits Rural Hospitals | Concord News

Dartmouth Health is shutting down key telehealth programs that connected rural hospitals to specialists, citing unsustainable costs and lack of consistent funding. These services, launched in 2012, revolutionized care for remote areas by bringing ICU and ER expertise without requiring full-time staff on-site.

This move underscores the growing tension between delivering advanced care and maintaining financial viability in underserved regions.
