A significant share of employer worksites, manufacturing plants, logistics hubs, and increasingly, data center campuses, sit in rural or semi-rural geographies where the nearest clinic or urgent care may be a meaningful drive away. 80% of U.S. counties qualify as healthcare deserts. Since 2010, 182 rural hospitals nationally have either closed or converted to a model that excludes inpatient care, per the Chartis Center for Rural Health's 2025 State of the State report.

80% of U.S. counties meet the criteria for a healthcare desert, leaving millions of Americans more than an hour from the nearest clinic or hospital, including many rural and semi-rural employer worksites.
Rural worksites often sit far from the nearest clinic, and many rural clinics keep limited daytime hours that don't align with shift-based or off-hours work schedules, compounding the distance problem with a timing problem.
