Abstract

Rural public health has been hit with a triple set of challenges: overstretched health care, poor health status, and limited public health capacities. MaineHealth, a nonprofit integrated 10-hospital health system, serves a mostly rural area with no local public health departments in its rural communities. By integrating primary care with public health and partnering with communities, MaineHealth has developed an infrastructure to successfully address these challenges. We believe this approach is worthy of consideration in other rural areas. (Am J Public Health. Published online ahead of print September 25, 2025:e1-e4. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308233).

医疗、公共卫生、社区一体化：农村公共卫生新模式

农村公共卫生受到三重挑战的打击：卫生保健超负荷、健康状况不佳和公共卫生能力有限。MaineHealth是一个由10家医院组成的非营利性医疗系统，主要服务于农村地区，在农村社区没有当地的公共卫生部门。通过将初级保健与公共卫生相结合，并与社区合作，MaineHealth已开发出成功应对这些挑战的基础设施。我们认为这种做法在其他农村地区值得考虑。公共卫生。2025年9月25日在线出版：e1-e4。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308233)。
