Statement

Date: March 2, 2021
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Health and Health Care

Today, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. issued a statement following the Kansas State Legislature voting favorably on a bill that would provide a new option for struggling rural hospitals to continue serving their communities. Senator Marshall had previously submitted WRITTEN TESTIMONY to the Kansas Senate Committee on Public Health and Welfare in support of the legislation.

"We never want to see a rural community be forced to close the doors of its hospital and lose access to health care," said Senator Marshall. "This new hospital designation creates a more cost-efficient alternative so that rural communities can maintain immediate access to quality care. I am pleased that Kansas legislators support this meaningful legislation so hospitals and community leaders can choose what best fits their financial needs."
