The Rural Hospital Coalition, Inc. (the Coalition) is a statewide 501(c)(6) trade organization limited to Louisiana's rural hospitals. Membership is limited to hospitals of 60 beds or less and/or serving parishes with populations of 65,000 or fewer residents. Since the Coalition's establishment on 1994, membership has steadily increased due to the focused approach on rural issues that directly affect member hospitals. Currently, the organization's membership consists of Louisiana's 41 small rural hospitals which is comprised of political subdivision hospitals, private non-profits and proprietary hospitals, all serving rural communities throughout the State.
