States Support Rural Hospitals While COVID-19 Highlights Challenges The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted and magnified the factors leading to rural hospital closures across the country. In many parts of the country, elective procedures were suspended to conserve critically needed personal protective equipment and to reduce COVID-19 exposure by patients and hospital staff. But for many rural hospitals, the suspension of elective procedures—combined with the reduced the use of non-urgent services by apprehensive patients—meant a loss of revenue and the furloughing of healthcare staff. Unfortunately, these kinds of challenges are not new to rural hospitals. Ensuring Safe Access to Oral Healthcare During COVID-19 June is Oral Health Month, and it’s important to remember that dental care and the oral health workforce have also been tremendously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the midst of stay at home orders, nationwide closures, and related employment loss, people have largely put their oral health on the back burner. Avoiding Lyme Disease as Americans Get Outdoors this Summer As states begin relaxing stay at home orders and implementing phased processes of reopening public establishments and parks, more Americans are enjoying the outdoors. In order to maintain recommend distance from others, many people are likely to spend time in public or state parks. While these activities may help to prevent the spread of COVID-19, it does increase individuals’ exposure to Lyme disease, one of the most common vector-borne diseases in the United States.
