Texasโ€™ rural hospitals are โ€” once again โ€” at grave risk of closing

A rural hospital hasnโ€™t closed in Texas since the COVID-19 pandemic started in March 2020. That could change as federal relief ends.

TribCast: The future of rural Texas

In this weekโ€™s episode, Texas Tribune regional editor Nic Garcia guest-hosts from Texas Tech University for a discussion about the issues facing the rural residents of the state.

Texasโ€™ nursing homes are missing something: nurses

A dearth of nurses is leaving Texas seniors โ€” especially in rural areas โ€” without care.

Rural Texas is the stateโ€™s foundation. And itโ€™s in jeopardy.

Downtowns are deserted, hospitals are closing, teachers are leaving. Every part of life in rural Texas is harder โ€” but itโ€™s worth saving.

Volunteer networks in Mexico aid at-home abortions without involving doctors or clinics. Theyโ€™re coming to Texas.

Before abortion was legal in parts of Mexico, an extensive โ€œaccompanimentโ€ system grew to help women safely terminate pregnancies on their own. Its organizers are now moving abortion-inducing medication across the border and helping replicate the system in the United States.

En Mรฉxico, grupos de voluntarias ayudan a tener abortos en casa, sin personal mรฉdico. Este modelo de aborto ha llegado a Texas.

Antes de que el aborto fuera legal en algunos estados de Mรฉxico, los grupos de โ€œacompaรฑamientoโ€ establecieron un sistema de apoyo para que las mujeres interrumpieran sus embarazos en casa. Ahora, estos grupos estรกn ayudando a trasladar al norte de la frontera medicamento para abortar y a replicar este modelo en los Estados Unidos.

Through speeches, signs and chants, protesters across the state expressed their concerns Friday about the effects of the U.S. Supreme Courtโ€™s overturning of Roe v. Wade.

โ€œI canโ€™t have one more baby with this manโ€: Some domestic violence victims see abortion as vital option that would be lost post-Roe

Advocates say abortion has often been the safest option for many experiencing intimate partner violence.

From staffing shortages to lack of guidance, the pandemic made Texasโ€™ rural health issues worse, providers say

The COVID-19 pandemic also cut down on clinicsโ€™ revenue and underscored broadband access disparities in rural Texas, health care providers said in a conversation with The Texas Tribune.

Texas hospitals prepare to pick up the tab for uninsured COVID-19 patients as federal funds dry up

Hospitals and other health care providers in Texas, which has the lowest rate of insurance coverage in the nation, have gotten some $1.8 billion in federal help for uninsured COVID-19 patients.

Analysis: Rural Texas hospitals still searching for a remedy

The good news is that no rural hospitals in Texas have closed in the last two years. The bad news? Theyโ€™re still in crisis mode, and the state government is still struggling to find a remedy.

An end to the omicron surge is in sight, but relief comes slowly in hard-hit Laredo

COVID-19 numbers are plummeting statewide, but on Texasโ€™ southern border with Mexico, Laredo is still battling its fourth surge.

With questions about omicronโ€™s severity still unanswered, Texas braces for new COVID-19 wave this winter

Hospitalizations related to the virus remain low in the state, but the number of people testing positive is rising and once again fueling worries about the struggling health care systemโ€™s ability to weather a new surge.

Itโ€™s cheap, easy to make and in demand overseas. So why canโ€™t this Texas-born COVID-19 vaccine break into the U.S. market?

A Houston vaccine team would like a U.S. distributor but for now focuses its efforts abroad to inoculate those in countries where COVID-19 variants surface more quickly.

Rural schools shut down to keep COVID-19 from overwhelming their small communities

The small districts arenโ€™t fighting Gov. Greg Abbottโ€™s mask rules, but fears for staff, students and local medical facilities are driving them to fight COVID-19 with temporary closures.
