At Jefferson Healthcare, we’re proud to provide essential maternity care to the communities we serve, giving families a place close to home to welcome their newest members. But we know that keeping these services running is a challenge faced by many rural hospitals. That’s why we’re grateful to Senators Cantwell and Wyden for their work on legislation that would increase Medicaid reimbursements and offer vital support to rural hospitals like Jefferson Healthcare. Together, we’re working to make sure maternity care is accessible to families in rural areas. Read more in this feature from the Washington State Standard.
