For healthcare clients

At Forvis Mazars, we understand rural healthcare is the backbone of many communities—and that rural providers are under immense pressure managing financial stress, workforce shortages, and shifting reimbursement models. We work with healthcare organizations nationwide, from Critical Access Hospitals to rural clinics, to help them attain flexibility and confidence through five core capabilities for Achieving Health: strategic agility, financial discipline, regulatory excellence, aligned growth, and talent optimization.

Rural health isn’t a smaller version of urban care—it’s a distinct ecosystem that requires customized support. Our team is focused on serving rural providers. We’re proud to advocate for rural health policy and legislation through our support of the National Rural Health Association and state hospital associations.

We assist: 

  • Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) 
  • Prospective Payment System (PPS) Hospitals
  • Rural Referral Centers (RRC)
  • Rural Health Clinics (RHC)
  • Sole Community Hospitals (SCH)
  • Medicare-Dependent Hospitals (MDH)
  • Rural Community Hospital Demonstration (RCHD) Project Hospitals
  • Rural Emergency Hospitals (REH)

We’re more than advisors—we’re supporters and collaborators in your mission to deliver high-quality, person-centered care in rural America. Let’s drive health forward—together.
