This brief explores changes in geographic accessibility, within rural ZIP codes throughout the U.S., to Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) between 2006 and 2018. It compares changes in access to services within rural counties that experienced the loss of its nearest hospital to changes in access that were experienced within rural counties that never experienced a hospital closure.
