U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell convened healthcare leaders from across Alabama’s Black Belt on Wednesday for a rural health care roundtable aimed at addressing the growing challenges hospitals face in providing care to residents in some of the state’s most underserved communities.

The meeting, held at Whitfield Regional Hospital in Demopolis during National Public Health Week, brought together executives and representatives from several regional facilities, including Greene County Health System, J. Paul Jones Rural Emergency Hospital in Camden, Hill Hospital in York, Grove Hill Hospital, DCH Health System, Hale County Hospital, the Rural Medical Program in Selma and Whitfield Regional Hospital.

Todd and Cindy talk about the roundtable in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
