Report: Rural Ohioans Face Greater Barriers to Care

Ohio Capital Journal highlights research from the Health Policy Institute of Ohio which finds that rural and Appalachian Ohioans are challenged when it comes to accessing health care services, including a lack of broadband to a lack of access to transportation. The report finds that nearly one-fifth of households in rural Appalachia had no access to the internet from 2018- 2022, and that these residents were more likely to live in zero-vehicle households.
