Healthcare in rural Alabama faces an array of challenges. A high poverty level and minimal funding in several rural counties means many clinics are underserved, lack much-needed healthcare specialists, and face the possible outcome of having to close down. All of this further perpetuates a collective decrease in healthcare accessibility and growing fear that most of rural Alabama will be without any type of healthcare availability. Some innovations follow the idea of disappearing clinics and focus on telemedicine, while others attempt to resurrect the medical industry for person-to-person care.
