How One Rural Town Improved Healthcare
When it comes to providing adequate access to healthcare, rural communities often rank at the bottom of the barrel. A few years ago, the farming town of Gonzales, Calif., trailed even the rural average of doctor-to-population ratios.
Not anymore. Today Gonzales boasts a doctor-population ratio that is well above the national urban average thanks to the recent addition of two new clinics and several new doctors and dentists.
