CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) Federal and state mandates concerning rural healthcare will present challenges for rural hospitals down the road according the CHI Mercy Health CEO Keith Heuser. He said one mandate will limit the number of in-patience beds in rural hospitals.

Heuser says some rural hospitals will close if they cannot meet the new federal and state requirements.  

Heuser will address these issues in more detail on our Voice of the Valley show coming up Monday, March 2.
