A Virtual Safety Net for Rural Care

More Reach. More Capacity.
Care Closer to Home.

Rural hospitals shouldn’t have to choose between limited workforce capacity and access to the care their communities need.

Connected Care helps you extend scarce clinical resources, bring specialty expertise to the bedside, support stretched care teams, and create sustainable access across your community.

Keeping Patients Local

Rural health systems are being asked to do more with fewer resources: recruiting from a smaller workforce, maintaining specialty coverage, reducing transfers, and supporting increasingly complex patients across broad geographic areas.

Connected care creates another way forward.

By connecting bedside teams with virtual nurses, remote specialists, centralized clinical resources, and intelligent monitoring tools, rural organizations can expand access without requiring every resource to be physically present in every facility.

Caregility is proud to partner with the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) and support the rural healthcare community as organizations explore sustainable ways to expand access, strengthen local care teams, and keep care closer to home.

RURAL HEALTH SPOTLIGHT: STARR REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Starr Regional Medical Center connects its ICU and Emergency Department teams with board-certified intensivists around the clock, expanding access to critical care expertise within the community. The program supports Starr Regional’s five-bed ICU, with expansion planned as ICU capacity grows to 10 beds.

RURAL HEALTH SPOTLIGHT: ROME HEALTH

Rome Health began its virtual nursing program with discharge support, giving patients dedicated education while returning time to bedside nurses. The rural community hospital took a phased, workflow-first approach designed to demonstrate value before expanding into additional use cases.
