Please find enclosed Alabama Public Radio’s entry for best radio documentary, titled “Help Wanted: Alabama’s Rural Health Care Crisis.” The three member Alabama Public Radio news team spent the year, with no budget, investigating why the system here is so badly broken and why solutions aren’t being pursued.
On September 27, 2017, the Washington Post published an article about how only one half of rural hospitals in the U.S. can deliver a baby.
In rural Alabama, it’s barely a third.
